The phonograph was a device used to record and replay sounds from a cylinder, or later from a vinyl disc (record).
As with the modern versions, the CD and DVD, the record rotated on the player. But the information was merely scratched into the grooves of the surface to create vibrations when a needle rubbed against it. Still, the technique imparted a wide range of audible frequencies that could be repeatedly recreated with varying degrees of fidelity. This technique is known as analog recording (which also applies to using magnetic tape), and cannot duplicate the sounds with the same accuracy as can the digital encoding of CD's.
