Nowadays, it is hard to imagine life without the constant sound of audio recordings. However, the recording, storage and playback of acoustic signals does not have a particularly long history. This book provides a brief overview of how the most important audio playback devices and corresponding storage media work and their cultural significance. In addition to records, CDs and cassettes, the MP3 format is also explained, which has become one of the most important storage formats for audio files in recent years.
