Music can be found anywhere, from the simplest rhythm of raindrops to TVs set to full volume. Everyone across the globe loves music. There is not one person that does not like music in any form. Filipinos, for one, love music; it has become a part of their culture and lives. Due to this “universal” love for music, people have found ways for anyone to have access to all kinds of records. Today, there are countless stores that sell CDs and multimedia players. Music has even become accessible at the onset of the Internet.

Modern technology like CDs, mp3s and the Internet, which provides much convenience, were still not available around the early and mid 1900s. To be able to listen to music, people back then still used phonograph records and cassette tapes. Phonograph records are disk-like sound recording devices that have a continuous groove. A phonograph needle tracks in the groove while the disk rotates to make the music play. While cassette tapes record sound by using a plastic strip with iron oxide. There are recorders and players especially designed to play the music recorded in cassette tapes. Today, most people use CDs, computers and multimedia players to listen to music, which could store thousands of songs, whereas phonograph records and cassette tapes could store a limited number of songs. Songs in mp3 format are all over the Web, which can be downloaded in a matter of seconds or minutes. It is that easy to get your hands on your favourite songs these days.
