the sound quality is quite bad, but it turns out the author neglected
to apply the RIAA curve to the master before rendering the groove, so
it could be made to sound much better. but that's not really the
point :)
Be aware that this (sadly) is with a 30k printer, the accuracy of the
1k$ printers for home is not yet up to that. But what if one printed a
record with deeper and bigger grooves at home and also printed a
fitting needle? Add a nice membrane and a horn and you get your own
record-player...
reminds me of a band i heard of in the 80s (forgot the
name) who
released a single which, if recorded to some data cassette format,
would yield a computer game...
Now this makes me feel older than you are, but this is what I got from
people wh remember the times (where they really there if they remember
it?):
There where radio-stations sending out programs (as computer-programs)
to record and then use on your C64. And I believe also some TV-shows
sending a black-and-white box in a corner which was binary code...
A band distributing a game via vinyl was probably one of the slowest
distribution ways even at that time without the global internets.
On the other hand: what would happen if one uses vmlinuz and initrd as
raw-input for lame and then back to 'wave' with mpg123?
Have fun,
