The first 78 recording discÊcame out in 1898. This was the speed that was chosen for the phonograph as the earlier music recorders had speeds that started at 60 rpm.Ê
In July 1877, while developing his telephone transmitter, Thomas Edison conceived the idea of recording and playing back telephone messages. After experimenting with a telephone "diaphragm having an embossing point & held against paraffin paper moving rapidly," he found that the sound "vibrations are indented nicely" and concluded "there's no doubt that I shall be able to store up & reproduce automatically at any future time the human voice perfectly." Edison periodically returned to this idea, and by the end of November, he had developed a basic design. The first phonograph consisted of grooved cylinder mounted on a long shaft with a screw pitch of ten threads per inch and turned by a hand crank. Instead of paraffined paper, Edison used a piece of tin foil wrapped around the cylinder as a recording surface. The first phonograph had separate recording and playback mechanisms, but later designs combined them into a single unit.
He invented the phonograph record and record player.
On November 8 1887, Emile Berliner, a German immigrant, patented a sound recording/ playback device he called the gramophone. Though similar to Edison's phonograph and Bell's graphophone, the gramophone recorded on flat disks or records instead of cylinders. Unlike the cylinders, the discs were able to be massed produced.
In Ancient Greece (1 o'clock 328 BC), the phonograph is on the roof of the Treasury building (the guarded one, the first one you come to). Go to the right side, climb the winged statue to the very top, and jump left onto the roof. There you will find the phonograph for Thomas Edison (9 o'clock, 1877 AD). *The phonograph has an actual Thomas Edison recording on it, which you can hear before you return it. --- You can ask the Oracle where it is, actually, once you've gotten the piece of the Sun Stone which is in Thomas Edison's time, in a chimney on his house. --- The Oracle can be helpful, but it is not difficult to determine where the 11 objects go.

No, the phonograph had not yet been invented.

Thomas Edison invented them and it was in 1896. :)
Thomas Edison, in 1877 built the first phonograph that permitted playback of a recorded sound. In the following years, several other people contributed to improvement of the phonograph. Here is a link to an article on the phonograph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph
