Veteran New York Times music critic Ben Ratliff comes to Google to discuss his book "Every Song Ever" and how he is reimagining the idea of music appreciation in the time of cloud streaming, when we can listen to nearly anything, at any time.

From Detroit techno to jam bands to baroque opera, the new possibilities of listening overturn old assumptions about what it means to properly appreciate music. Ratliff talks about his new framework for listening that can lead to unexpected connections and astonishing possibilities.
