Actually, the subsection Magnetic tape#Magnetic Tape Audio Storage) is about reel-to-reel tape recording. I saw the Magnetic tape page, that heading was there, I didn't think it was a very good heading, but that's where I did my brain dump.
Maybe it should be moved to and/or creatively combined with Reel-to-reel audio tape recording.

Does it belong here? It was never used as a consumer format for musical recordings, but it was certainly an important audio format from, I dunno, the late 1920s to--well, I believe it's still in use.

There is no attention to the fact that there is a difference between media content formats and media storage formats. The content formats can be transmitted through a number of media storage formats, this means that a WMA or MP3 file can be stored and transmitted through a CD-R, DVD-R, the Internet and so on. There can be several different audio formats in a single DVD, and there are competing audio formats in the cinema market as well.
I suggest that this is clearly depicted in this article and in other related articles. Either by separating them in different articles or at least pointed out in one article.
The list only has music roll on it, which is pointed a piano roll. The two are aparently separate subjects. Additional mechanical digital formats include: book music (probably the first of the punched paper style formats), barrel organs, music boxes, and maybe even Cuckoo clocks. The dates on all of these formats are fuzzy. I think these inventions bring up the question of what qualifies for inclusion on this list. Maybe it would be more appropriate to only list items that record at a high enough precision to reproduce human speech intelligibly. -- Austin Murphy 16:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Anybody thought about this one? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.108.76.187 ( talk • contribs).
I once saw this system for sale in an antique store that consisted of flat clear discs with optical (film like) stripes running inward on them. So, in other words, it was a flat round record, with optical sound stripes spiraling inward. The store had the player and a number of albums for sale with it. It was over priced, so I didn't buy it. This was probably 19 or so years ago, but I've wondered ever since what the format was, and what it was called. Any ideas?

Wasn't .wav format introduced in 1991 with the release of MS Windows 3.1 betas and not 1992?
Deutsche Cassette (Introduced at similar time to Compact Cassette by Grundig(?). Largely similar but not interchangeable with Compact Cassete due to differeing geometry. Also ran at 2 inches per second. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.133.0.13 ( talk) 13:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
As they don't depend on interpretation to produce sound and generally are stored in the form of cylinders or disks, should music box disks be included as an audio format? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jag140 ( talk • contribs) 16:01, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Tech changes in music media is a WP:CFORK of this article. There's probably room for a broad (and encompassing both articles) history of audio formats. Or perhaps both should be merged to audio format, which is a short little article that could surely use the added historical context (and that article itself expanded).

At HD Tracks, I can buy DSD, MP3, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, and WAV files. I can buy files in 88/24, 96/24, 176/24, and 192/24.
At Elusive Disc, I can buy other disc formats, such as Gold CD, XRCD, HDCD, DTS 5.1 CD, DVD-A, 24/96 Music DVD, and SACD. On Elusive Disc, SACDS can be further divided into Single Layer Stereo SACD, Hybrid (Dual Layer) Stereo SACD, Single Layer Multi-Channel SACD, and Hybrid (Dual Layer) Multi-Channel SACD.

The article seems to have a blend of audio and video formats in it like Laserdisc and Betamax. I understand that they are on the list due to them having audio components in them but it could be confusing for people reading the article and there is merit to having a list like this for video formats.
