The beginnings of recorded music lie in the late 1880s when the first device for recording and playing back sound was invented by Thomas Edison. The phonograph was a cylindrical machine that could play back recordings that had been embedded in tin foil. The technology was swiftly overtaken by a cut disc recording that was to be the first embodiment of the gramophone record that we are all familiar with. Within ten years of recording and playback technology being discovered, wax disks were being played and within another 15 years, the record as we know it was in mass production, taking pride of place in the world of sound recording. This is how the situation remained until a hundred years after the first phonograph recording, the compact disk pulled the rug from under the record's feet.
