Thomas Edison in 1877 invented the phonograph. It used wax cylinders to play back recordings of this style of music. This invention lead to a recorded music market that began to appear in the 1880s.

The gramophone was then created in the late 1880s and it used flat discs to reproduce sound, becoming popular.

Replacing the phonograph,This way the music was recorded changed in the mid-1920s.

It was when the acoustical recording process was replaced with the electrical process.

This change made the way that recordings were made sound much better and more natural, helping to expand the popularity of recorded music. As the recording process improved, a number of independent record labels also began to appear during the 1920s.
