The first music player was the turntable, which originated from Thomas Edison's phonograph in 1877. The turntable was invented in 1924 by the English Néophone company. Compact discs were invented in 1978 by Philips and Sony as they provided an easier way to listen to music at home, in cars, at work and at school by holding multiple songs on a single disc. Compact discs were preferable to iPods because the music burned onto CDs will last forever, CDs are inexpensive, and they allow hands-free listening in cars to reduce accidents.

vinyl discs. The turntable has for ancestor the

listen music at your home, in your car, at your job
and at school. On CD, you can put all the songs that
you like, that`s why everyone have to buy it !
Why chose CD more than IPOD ?
Because, what is grave on a compact disc, will
stay forever. Also, compact disc isn’t expensive
at all! Third, when you drive, you don’t have to
change the songs, that goes by itselves. So you
