When Bing started out doing radio broadcasts they were live, done twice in a row to suit the needs of different time zones. It didn't take him long to figure out that recorded performances would enable him to do a show once and be done with it, and the transcription discs would then be sent to radio stations across the country. These early discs, however, were notoriously inconsistent in quality and deteriorated drastically with each use. Thus Bing introduced a new invention to the recording industry: tape, which solved both problems and made the preservation of recorded music feasible
