I just noticed that Amazon has new softbound copies of the classic "Psychology of Music" by Carl Seashore for under $10. There are used copies for as little as $3.85.

This is an incredibly eye-opening book for understanding instruments, psychoacoustics and effects. I heavily recommend it to anyone who wants to know about music and why we hear it as we do.

I had an audio professor in school suggest this book and I never got around to buying it... I guess the price is right now! Thanks R.G.!

Thanks!
reminds me of wanting to build the "Jefferton Earphase",
and the "White Hazzard"

The journal "Psychology of Music" is partially available on-line: http://pom.sagepub.com/  and may be available in your local university library.

Then there is "Music Perception", which has less of a touchy-feely social aspect to it, and is more science-oriented: http://www.ucpress.edu/journals/mp/ 
I'm proud to say I know someone with a paper in the current issue (on infant perception of rhythm).  Doesn't seem that long ago that I was a summer student while she was doing her doctoral research playing tape loops to infants.
