Jukeboxes And Their History

Jukeboxes are just a blast from the past. These machines which are nothing more than coin operated music boxes were a hit back in the early years of the twentieth century. That does not mean that this was the actual age of the jukeboxes. The first music boxes appeared in the 1800s but the electricity was not there yet and people had to run some sort of gears in order to listen to some sort of a clear voice.

The early twentieth century, brought to the world the phonograph, and wax discs on which the songs and music were kept. All one had to do was to insert a coin, then some lever would pull a hand that would go into the groove and then play the music out loud.

Later on, Jukeboxes were advanced by the introduction of LPs. That helped the quality of voice to be better, and even made it possible for the multiple playing of the same track and made it possible to have so many tracks on board the same jukebox at the same time.

With the introduction of the phonograph before and LPs, the fascination with jukeboxes decreased and people kept wondering about whether the industry of jukeboxes would last, especially with the introduction of home music players.

Yet, the days of Disco and Swing surely made it survive in discos and pubs. It has become a representation of the identity of an era. An era that everybody loves. Today, Jukeboxes are so much advanced, with CDs replacing the older LPs and EPs, and even digital drives with unlimited capacity to hold music in it. The question is; where will jukeboxes be in the years to come?
