The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s.

Terminology


Usage of these terms is somewhat different in American English and English outside North America; see usage note below. In more modern usage, this device is often called a turntable, record player, or record changer. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the alternative term talking machine was sometimes used. The phonograph was the first device for recording and replaying sound.
