Why Do they make records in 33 and 45? If the actual track is coded to the record for a specific speed for playing why does it matter is the speed is 33 or 45 aren't they both the same. Is it an antiquated thing?

[list][]the lower the rpm, the more sound you can fit on a record []the higher the rpm, the better the sound quality[/list]
each was developed by a different company... Columbia Records introduced the 33 to the market, while RCA introduced the 45. i think these two became standard basically because these were two record giants

I guessed that it had something to do with the amount of data you could cram onto it, thanks for the response.

I wouldnt really call it data, but yes thats basically why they did it. Back in the day: 33s were LPs 45s were EPs, singles etc..
Also, who remembers 78s?! Ive got a box of them in my attic, thankfully my decks do a 78 speed so I can still listen to Doddy and the Diddymen, as well as some of the old Marvin Gaye albums.
