Listening to music is a very pleasant activity. Everybody<br />
likes music. And, today, everybody can listen to the type<br />
of music they prefer. But, was it always so easy? Not so<br />
long ago nobody knew about MP3, MP4, download music<br />
from the Internet, or Spotify, for example. And, how is it<br />
possible that today children or teenagers don't know what<br />
an LP is?<br />
Let's have a quick look at the history of sound recording.<br />
Columbia produced the first records in the USA in 1948,<br />
they were the famous LPs (Long Playing records). Their<br />
material was a special plastic called vinyl. The pop industry was born thanks to the introduction of these<br />
records. They were cheap and everybody could buy them<br />
But some years later Philips introduced Compact Cassettes in 1963. They were very successful because<br />
you could make copies of records on cassettes. Music quality was not so good as that of LPs. But they were<br />
cheaper.<br />
In 1982 Philips and Sony first produced Compact Discs (CDs). They were made of plastic and aluminium.<br />
Sound quality was excellent. And they had a very long life.<br />
Nowadays, MP3, MP4 and above all, mobile phones, have revolutionized the world of music. Everybody<br />
uses their MP4 or mobiles to listen to music, because they can store lots of music.<br />
What will the sound recording industry bring us in the future?<br />
