DRAM - Database of Recorded American Music
A scholarly resource of recordings, including CD quality audio, complete and original liner notes and essays from New World Records, Composers Recordings, Inc. (CRI) and other labels. DRAM offers on-demand, high-quality (192kbps/MP4) streaming access to complete works. Currently, there are over 1,500 CDs (9,800 compositions) in DRAM. The basis for the current collection is the diverse catalogue of American music recordings by New World Records. From folk to opera, Native American to jazz, 19th century classical to early rock, musical theater, contemporary, electronic and beyond, New World has served composers, artists, students and the general public since its inception in 1975 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.

ACCESSING DRAM: To access DRAM, either select "Log In" from the main page or go directly to an album or track. You'll be presented with a "Where Are You From" page. You should see "University of Pennsylvania". If you don't, contact us.

You'll see a gray button at the top of the page. Select this and then several white "Shibboleth" pages may float by or you may need to click them (depending on what browser or type of computer you are using). You should then be able to stream.

USING DRAM: You must have QuickTime 6.5.2 or higher in order to access DRAM smoothly - although some users report it works best with QuickTime 7.0 (particularly if you're on a PC). If QuickTime is associated with iTunes, you may run into difficulty and may need to disassociate the two. Additional troubleshooting instructions for QuickTime are at: http://dram.nyu.edu/dram/_html/about/troubleshooting.html

RIGHTS: You will see also for some items that the rights have not been cleared (for example, http://dram.nyu.edu/dram/Identifier/80249). In some cases, it looks like you can play the track but then it will skip through. The "play" button is supposed to be grayed out. The is working to clear all rights. If you need any of these tracks, please contact the Electronic Acquisitions Department and we'll work with to get the tracks for you.
