MUSIC BOXES
Not designed to record sound. Instead, they used tiny, tuned metal combs set inside a disk.
. When in
motion, steel pins moved across the comb to produce a
delicate sound.
GRAPHOPHONE
Instead of tinfoil
cylinders, Bell used wax cylinders for his graphophone
because they had stronger ridges and were more
effective at recording sounds.
GRAMOPHONE
sound recording device
that utilized grooved, flat disks, rather than cylinders. These flat disks are
the earliest known version of the record, which was later created out of
vinyl.

country began using them to enhance the viewing

music players were the built-in speakers, which were loud

playing as you walked by.

of urban society
BOOMBOXES

and modern-day portable devices,

next natural step after cassette tapes.
CD PLAYERS
These early devices were bulky and had little storage, but they were still part of the portability
movement that listeners had come to expect from music players by the late 1990s and early
2000s. Once again, listeners used peer-to-peer websites to download music, as well as
manufacturer-specific software.
