In the white noise of this 1892 wax cylinder, unfortunately claimed by mold, is the voice of Thomas Edison in a phonogram message to a business associate

The recording sounds so bad because Edison saved it as a .DOS instead of MP3.

Is this also the first digital recording of the first analogue recording? The original is poor quality enough without modern digital distortions.

This is not the sound track of an old movie. This film footage was added because the filmer opted not to just show a phonograph running the cylinder, but to show what went on in those days at the labs.

@DerekBayRoberts1 from what i know, the first car was made in 1896, and 'horse and carriage' probably stopped about the 1930s

@DerekBayRoberts1 The uploader just put random silent movie clips to make it interesting.

When exactly was cars invented? this supposed to 1892, right? I see a car. When did the "Horse & carriage" thing stop?
