    Thomas Edison, I believe to record sounds and transmit then at will. Likely for music.

    The question is, why was the first phonograph NOT invented.

    "Thomas Alva Edison announced his invention of the first phonograph, a device for recording and replaying sound, on November 21, 1877, and he demonstrated the device for the first time on November 29 (it was patented on February 19, 1878 as US Patent 200,521). "wikipedia

    It was important because it led the way for all audio devices that we have today.
    Thomas A. Edison invented the phonograph, the first device for recording and playing back sound, in 1877.

    After inventing and patenting the phonograph, Edison and his laboratory turned their attention to the commercial development of electric lighting, playing no further role in the development of the phonograph for a decade.

    The earliest phonograph was something of a crude curiosity, although it was one that fascinated much of the public. Early machines were sold to entrepreneurs who made a living out of traveling around the country giving "phonograph concerts" and demonstrating the device for a fee at fairs.

    "Talking dolls" and "Talking clocks" were manufactured using the early phonograph; these were expensive novelties.
