I've read about a system in the early 1900's, when the phonograph was huge and the telephone was just catching on, where you could call on your telephone to get a certain song played over your phone. You then hung the telephone receiver on a special attachment on your phonograph and you'd get the music piped over the phone through your phonograph. The earliest form of file sharing.
Unfortunately I can't find the article I read before, or any information on it. Anyone else ever hear of this?
