This 200-seat theater with an organ that rises from the floor regularly screens well-known and rarely-seen movies from the Library of Congress's collection. The theater can project film (including a safe method for projecting nitrate film base) and video in many forms, including digital.
This device allows recording onto a lacquer disk, a common system used for decades for reasonably stable audio capture.
IRENE, a system from Lawrence Berkeley Labs, optically captures record grooves and converts that into audio form. It's not perfect, but it's useful, as no contact is required. This version uses 2D captures; a 3D system that should more accurately extract audio is in the works.
This is in a room filled with an example of nearly every input and recording method over the entire history of fixing sound into a physical medium.
Material that doesn't need perfect archival condition is stored in racks in the main building as it works its way through repair or digitization.
Did you know that these recorders put sound as magnetic impulses on wire? I had never heard of such a thing. The wire recordings are relatively stable, and the wire media were available for field recording before magnetic tape was feasible.
Some music was only ever released in cassette form. This box contains a set of ethnic music being digitized (up to six cassettes can be captured simultaneously at real-time speeds) for a project.

Mix tapes aren't desirable, but a fair amount of music is only available in cassette tape form, or cassettes have the best-available copy of a work.
