actually recording audio as it involved
heavy machines recording an analog
signal. The audio was literally
implanted into the discs.

Computer Files
In computer files audio, instead of
imbedding the audio clip onto a disc,
the audio is converted into 1s and Os
(binary) in a process called PCM
(Phase Change Memory).
Computer Files
The audio files are then saved on the
computer's hard drive that can be used
in the future with a simple click of a
mouse instead of inserting a cassette
tape just to hear the recording.
