Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville: The first experiments with sound recording were conducted in the 1850’s using a hog’s hair bristle as a needle. De Martinville can record sound, but he can’t play it back.

Phonograph: (1877) Thomas Edison figures out how to play back sound, patented idea as an answering machine.

Graphophone: Furthered sound recording by patenting an improved version of the phonograph. Invented by Chichester Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter.

Flat Disk: Emile Berliner invents the flat disk (1887) and develops the gramophone to play it. The disks are easily mass-produced, a labeling system is introduced, and sound recording becomes a mass medium.

Gramophone: Sound recording medium patented in 1887, a better machine that played flat disks or records on a turntable.

Victrolas: Around 1910, music players enter living rooms as elaborate furniture centerpieces, replacing pianos as musical entertainment.

Audiotape: Developed in Germany (early 1940) enables mulitrack recording. Taping technology comes to the U.S after WWII.

Rock and Roll: New in the 1950’s, challenges class, gender, race, geographic, and religious norms in the U.S

Cassettes: Appears in 1960’s, gains popularity by making music portable

Hip Hop: Emerges in late 1970’s

CDs: The first format to incorporate digital technology hits the market in 1983.

MP3: A new format compressing music into digital files shakes up the music industry in 1999, as millions of Internet users share music files on Napster.

Napster: pioneered in 2011 as peer-to-peer file sharing Internet service that emphasized file sharing (MP3’s)

Online Music Stores: In 2008, iTunes becomes the No. 1 retailer of music in the U.S. iTunes celebrated their sixteenth billionth song download.

Piracy: Stealing music by downloading illegally online for free.
