"The Illustrated Guide to Audio Formats is an easy-to-read exploration of thirty-six popular and forgotten audio formats. This collection begins with the first recorded sound, the Phonautograph (invented in 1857), and concludes with the digital audio player. In between, this book covers classics like vinyl records and compact cassettes, fan favorites like the 8-track and MiniDisc, commercial flops and successes, innovative and recycled technologies, and rare formats like the Micro Pack 35 and Sabamobil."--Back cover
