Record players

For over 75 years vinyl records were the standard for listening to music. In the eighties they were replaced by the smaller audiocassette, which was higher-quality and could be rewound easily. Then came the compact disc, which required no rewinding and could hold even more music. Then came MP3s, which were smaller and not as fragile and could hold even more music. Recording technology has come so far that modern artists have actually rediscovered records, claiming they have better quality. It was once a skill to be able to drop the pin on the right part of the record. In the eighties they developed automatic record players which used lasers to find the tracks.
