Analog looks like the thing it represents. In this case wavy air is replicated by wavy grooves on vinyl, or wavy magnetism on a tape.

Digital turns things into numbers. In this case the wavy air is measured at various points and the numbers stored in binary reflective areas on a CD or electrons in flash storage.
