Sound/Audio Technologies
Sound/Audio Recording technologies and mediums:
1: Phonograph using cylinder and a sound recording medium
2: Vinyl disc
3: Tape/Reel
4: Compact Cassette Tape
5: CD (Compact Disc Optical)
6: Chip/IC(Integrated Circuit) like Memory Card
On April 9, 1860 the French inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville created the first sound recording in history.
The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound. His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a rotating cylinder.

Vinyl records have been delighting listeners and collectors since the 1900s.
RCA Victor launched the first commercial vinyl long-playing record in 1930. The first vinyl discs were made for playback at 33 1/3 rpm and pressed onto 12” diameter flexible plastic discs.
The Compact Cassette, Compact Audio Cassette or Musicassette, also commonly called the cassette tape or simply tape or cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. It was developed by Philips in Hasselt, Belgium, and introduced in September 1963 at the Berlin Radio Show.

2. Vinyl Records

3:Tape/Reel Technology:
The reel-to-reel format was used in the earliest tape recorders, including the pioneering German-British Blattnerphone (1928) machines of the late 1920s which used steel tape, and the German Magnetophon machines of the 1930s. Originally, this format had no name, since all forms of magnetic tape recorders used it.
The player and recorder of reel tape is MAGNETOPHON
Magnetophon from a German radio station in World War II.
4: Cassette Tape:
The Compact Cassette, Compact Audio Cassette or Musicassette, also commonly called the cassette tape or simply tape or cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. It was developed by Philips in Hasselt, Belgium, and introduced in September 1963 at the Berlin Radio Show.
5: Compact disc or CD
Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-developed by Philips and Sony and released in 1982. The format was originally developed to store and play only sound recordings (CD-DA) but was later adapted for storage of data (CD-ROM).
