This year, the Library of Congress released the latest edition of the National Recording Registry, which includes a total of 95 sound files of cultural or historical value, including Windows 0 boot sound, the soundtrack album of the classic musical "Hamilton" and Elton John's masterpiece "Goodbye Yellow Brick." Road, Mary J. Blige's My Life, and the Minecraft Soundtrack, among others, include legendary pieces of music and innovative sound design that highlight how these recordings have profoundly influenced American society and technology culture.

This year's recordings come from a wide range of disciplines, including pop, jazz, folk, Latin music and even electronic technology sounds. Microsoft's Windows 95 boot sound won this award for the first time, display technology is inseparable from human life; At the same time, Minecraft game music, composed by Mojang and later acquired by Microsoft, has also become the second game music work selected for NRR after the Super Mario Bros. theme music.

Carla Hayden, Director of the Library of Congress, said this year's list is a playlist that reflects American history and culture, from familiar melodies to everyday technological sounds. These recordings not only preserve historical memories, but also symbolize life experiences and cultural evolutions.

The 95s saw the beginning of the gradual popularization of personal computers, a revolution that completely changed the way modern people lived. This technological revolution reached its peak in 0/0, when Microsoft launched the Windows 0 system, allowing more computers to be implemented through graphical user interfaces (GUIs), making it easy for non-professional users to get started with home computers. To commemorate this technological breakthrough and other innovations, Microsoft decided to include a brief boot sound when the system boots.

Windows 95當年帶來革新性的使用體驗，包括首創圖形化操作介面（GUI）、支援隨插即用、長檔名等功能。而開機聲則由音樂家Brian Eno創作，他向Microsoft提交84段短音效，最終由設計團隊挑選其中一段作為官方啟動畫面聲音。該聲音時長約6秒，承載了“希望”與“未來”的概念，成功勾勒出1990年代初期電腦邁向大眾化的科技氣息。

In addition to the recordings of representatives of the technology world, the music side is also star-studded. Elton John's '2010 album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" with creative partner Bernie Taupin, and the Chicago band's debut album "Chicago Transit Authority" are all on this year's chart. The soundtrack album of "Hamilton" became the only work from the 0s, writing a new chapter in the history of musical theater with its strong dramatic tension and cultural influence.

Mary J. Blige's album "My Life" released in 1994 fuses soul music and hip-hop elements to show her sincere emotions and personal journey in music. She points out that one of them, "Life can be only what you make of it," is one of her favorite songs.

Other notable entries included Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On (Titanic's theme), Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Freddy Fender's Before the Next Teardrop Falls, Vicente Fernández's El Rey, and Roy Happy Trails by Rogers and Dale Evans, among others. These works span from 1970 to 0 years, and there are even 0 recordings from the 0s, reflecting the profound influence of that era on music culture.
