Formats in Motion

From vinyl to streaming!

The way we listen to and share music has changed radically across the decades. Formats in Motion traces the evolution of the media that shaped generations: from the warmth of vinyl and the portability of cassettes to the clarity of the CD and the immediacy of digital files and streaming.

In the 60s and 70s, vinyl reigned as the symbol of sound quality, while cassettes burst in with the chance to record and take music anywhere. In the 80s and 90s, the CD transformed fidelity and access, and soon after came portable players, the MP3 and the digital age, changing for good the way we consume music. Today, online platforms and streaming services put millions of songs within reach in seconds, closing a circle that joins past and present in the same passion: enjoying music in all its forms.
