It changed the way we listen to music. It also has made news reporting more lively.
We now live in a very connected world. Two hundred years ago nobody know what the top people sounded like and the only way you heard music was for it to be performed live.

For starters, there's a lot less musicians and people who know how to play piano than before recorded sound. It started the "music industry" and also served to homogenize musical styles and tastes. It probably lead to the current category names of music you see in the store nowadays - rock, R&B, country.
A few other things off the top of my head:
Recordings gave power to long-dead people.
Recordings provided a perfect transcription of a speaker.
Recordings allowed a writer to convey some of the non-verbal aspects of communication to his or her audience - which made for an entirely different experience & interpretation of a writer's words.

Well, the recording studios has changed so much that they can actually make someone sound so good, that you'd think they could sing even if they cant, like for instance Paris Hilton. She cant sing for sh!t and they made her sound like a pop star, although when she hits those high notes, you can hear she is a bad singer and I guess they couldn't change that part of the song.

The effect the radio play of War of the Worlds is an extreme example of how it changed us.
