Talk:Soundie

The article Panoram should be merged into this one; Panoram was the hardware used to play Soundies, so the history and success of Soundies is the history and success of Panoram.

Also, the Scopitone section should be shortened and integrated into another section of the article. Those interested in more about Scopitone jukebox can read the separate article.

And there is a very good, recent NY Times article - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/movies/soundies-duke-ellington.html - that can be used to expand the Wikipedia article. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 02:29, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

The capitalisation of 'Soundies' correctly suggests that this was a proper name. But can we have clear statement of who owned it, and how that ownership was protected in the marketplace - there were surely attempts to copy or emulate the set-up? Onanoff (talk) 18:31, 8 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
