When was the album invented?

Answer 1

The concept of the album as a collection of music began to take shape in the late 19th century, with the introduction of 78 RPM records. However, the modern album format, featuring multiple tracks organized by theme or artist, became popular in the 1940s with the advent of vinyl LPs (long-playing records). This format allowed for longer playtimes and transformed the way music was produced and consumed.
