Recorded music technology evolved from the phonautograph in 1857 which recorded sound but could not play it back, to Edison's phonograph in 1877 which could both record and playback sound on phonograph cylinders. Berliner's gramophone in the 1890s allowed mass production of vinyl records. Throughout the 20th century, recording formats continued advancing to include 10-inch and 12-inch records played at different speeds, until the introduction of compact discs in 1982 which had greater storage capacity than vinyl records. Recorded music grew to be a major part of popular culture and a commercial industry over this time period.
