Vinyl Records

Vinyl records are analog sound storage formats made from a durable plastic material. They consist of a flat disc with grooves that spiral from the outer edge to the center. These grooves encode sound waves, which are read by a needle (or stylus) in a turntable, converting the grooves' variations into audio. Vinyl records are known for their rich sound quality and have seen a resurgence in popularity due to their tactile nature and nostalgic appeal. They typically come in various sizes and speeds, with the most common being 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM.
