minus-squarefestus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoIs the mom referring to a record player when she says “78 rpm?”
minus-squareCort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoYes. The normal speed would be 33.33 rpm unless it was a 45 rpm single which is less likely for classical. So classical music played at 2.3x speed.
