Recorded music
Recorded music refers to audio recordings of musical performances that are stored on various media like CDs, digital files, or vinyl. These recordings capture sound exactly as performed or produced in a studio, allowing anyone to listen to the music at any time without live attendance. They serve as a permanent, reproducible version of a musical work, making it accessible globally. Recorded music is the basis for how most people experience music today, enabling easy distribution, storage, and playback across different devices and platforms.
