Phonorecords

Phonorecords refer to physical media that store audio recordings, such as vinyl records, cassette tapes, and compact discs (CDs). These formats capture sound waves and reproduce audio, allowing people to listen to music, spoken word, or other sounds. The term is often used in the context of copyright law, where it describes the rights associated with these recordings, covering both the performance and the specific recording itself. In essence, phonorecords are tangible representations of audio content that people can use to enjoy and share music and sounds.
