Following the section on the sounds of Earth, there is an eclectic 90-minute selection of music, including both Eastern and Western classics and a variety of ethnic music. It contains the spoken greetings, beginning with Akkadian, which was spoken in Sumer about six thousand years ago, and ending with Wu, a modern Chinese dialect. The remainder of the record is in audio, designed to be played at 16-2/3 revolutions per minute. The 115 images are encoded in analog form. Instructions, in symbolic language, explain the origin of the spacecraft and indicate how the record is to be played. Each record is encased in a protective aluminum jacket, together with a cartridge and a needle. To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in fifty-five languages, and printed messages from President Carter and U.N.

The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University, et. The following is a listing of pictures electronically placed on the phonograph records which are carried onboard the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft.
