Ex. Chapter 6 covers discs, tapes, piano rolls and sound recordings on film.

Ex. The message asks you to confirm that you want to delete the 'current record' from the diskette.

Ex. The majority of this schedule is devoted to various 'physical forms': globes and relief maps, gramophone records, tapes, etc.

Ex. For example, the child doing a project about birds will require books to give him background information, a record or cassette to let him hear a bird-song, and a film to help him to appreciate bird flight.

Ex. The library may have music scores, books on music, sound discs and sound tapes, to mention but a few of the possible media.

Ex. For instance, a change has been introduced from phonodisc and phonotape to sound recording, a term more easily understood by the public.

Ex. But goal-scorers don't give up the puck that easily -- especially in the offensive zone.

Ex. Hard drives typically have several platters which are mounted on the same spindle.
