Audio [Sound Recordings]

Any medium capable of capturing and reproducing an audible signal. Notes: 'Sound recording' is a generic term used to encompass a wide range of formats, including phonograph records, magnetic tape, compact discs, and computer files. The term does not include multimedia recordings that include sound, such as the soundtrack on a motion picture (from Society of American Archivists Glossary of Archival and Records Terminology).
