Gramophone

A gramophone was a device typically associated with 20th century Earth. It used a needle to play sounds recorded onto vinyl discs. It was most often used for the playing of music.

Individual discs could become scratched, which would result in the needle getting "stuck in the groove", resulting in short sections of a song being played over and over again in a loop. At least one of the Doctor's favourite records, "In a Dream," had a definite scratch in it, a matter of concern for both the Seventh and Eighth Doctors. (TV: Doctor Who)
