'''Phonograph cylinders''' were introduced by Thomas Edison in the late 1800s as the first system for the distribution of recorded sound. It later had a "format war" with disc-shaped [[gramophone record]]s, which ended with the discs winning out.

As the contents of most phonograph cylinders are in the public domain now due to age, many have been digitized into computer sound files which can be freely downloaded on the Internet.

+'''Phonograph cylinders''' were introduced by Thomas Edison in the late 1800s as the first system for the distribution of recorded sound. They later had a "format war" with disc-shaped [[gramophone record]]s, which ended with the discs winning out. These (as well as other formats such as the [[dictabelt]]) consist of a groove representing analog audio, played by a needle tracking it.
 As the contents of most phonograph cylinders had been believed to be in the public domain now due to age (though the actual situation for sound recording copyright is more complicated, and the [[Wikipedia:Music Modernization Act|Music Modernization Act]] actually gives such old recordings a US copyright that lasts until January 1, 2022), many have been digitized into computer sound files which can be freely downloaded on the Internet.
