From early audio
The sound quality of the first phonographs was crude by modern standards, but audiences were fascinated that sound could return at all. An early Edison tinfoil phonograph could hold roughly a minute of recorded sound. Edison's tinfoil phonograph caused a public sensation in 1878 because recorded sound itself was still astonishingly new.
