They’re pressed into bee’s wax (honeycomb) and the needle is a bee’s stinger.

I feel like the music discs are meant to be a “Don’t think about it too hard” thing.
Presumably, they were made using technology similar to how vinyl (or earlier shellac) records are made in real life. The world is littered with remnants of lost or ruined civilizations in the forms of trail ruins, other smaller ruins, Ancient Cities, the Piglin bastions, and End cities. My personal headcanon is that one or more of them mass-produced the records, and Creepers have them because they happened to grow up in the remnants of a warehouse the records used to be stored in. Or the record got snagged in their bodies as they were wandering around while the player wasn’t there.

Probably redstone. It’s also a fact that creepers like music and that’s why they have discs, so the backstory of the creeper could be also related to them, or most of them.
Seeing how you can find uniques in a lot of places including the nether, this technology could be from the earliest civilizations of the game, namely the ancient builders. I’d say the oldest disc is the one from the ancient city, since it’s in an even worse state than 11 (completely fragmented into pieces). This civilization also used at least medium complexity redstone, as seen under the giant portal.
When the (now ruined) portals connected the nether and the overworld, this technology was probably shared with the nether faction, and they used their own materials for production (differently colored discs). I don’t think this tech was stolen. It’s probably cultural exchange, so it’s likely that piglins (or earlier people from the nether) were on good terms with the ancient builders.

Engraved on wood, over the paint or with wax, with a diamond stylus that runs through the disc, and the box itself being a resonance chamber?

Maybe technology like music boxes?
