Teapot riddle rules:
I have one word which has several (2 or more) meanings.
Each of the meanings is a teapot (first, second ...)
You try to figure out the word with my clues.

Let's get started!

First clue:

My first teapot is fragile
My second teapot isn't fragile but tough

Second clue:

Music is attached to my first teapot
My second teapot is attachable to everything

Third clue:

My first teapot is like an ancient technology (though it isn't).
My second teapot is a way older technology, but is even nowadays commonly used.

Final clue:

My first teapot was replaced by the CD.
My second teapot is the stickiest tool you find in your house.

I think the teapot is:

Record(s) - i.e. Vinyl records and World Records

First Hint:

Drop a vinyl record, it'll likely break, they are easy to chip, etc.
It is hard to break a world record, you need to be an elite athlete (for example)

Second Hint:

A vinyl contains music
Records can be attached to anything, even dumb things.

Third Hint:

There are manyold formats similar to the vinyl records, maybe stretch, but like the Piano roll
(Note: I guess I misread this one since my answer isn't correct) Records are a historically kept, much longer than most technology still in use.

Final Hint:

The CD is a more modern vinyl.
Siblings fight over "records," causing fights? (This one is definitely a stretch)

I guess it's a

Tape

First teapot:

Magnetic tape used in audio cassettes. It is fragile, contains music, looks ancient nowadays and audio CDs replaced it

Second teapot:

A duct tape. It is tough, sticky, old and can be found in every house
