Hi Quoth, I did not want to go off-topic but you are not flagged to receive private messages. So, public it will be. This note of yours is interesting: was it measured, for example, the amount of information in vinyl? A CD digitally contains 74 mins worth (or "Beethoven's Ninth") of a 44100 Hz stream of 32 bit longs (two - stereo - 16 bit words): given that analogue media have a capacity for digital content, what would be the equivalent for a standard vinyl disc? I thought some plausible value could be computed from the density of data on a tape (to be read e.g. on a C2N), but of course the matter here is also the difference in definition, of fidelity, of the two media, cassette tape and vinyl.

This could be passed as relevant on-parent-matter if we wanted to determine how many books we could store on a vinyl, but. (It was actually done, to store binary data - programs on vinyl... There was a commercial record that contained a hidden small program for the C64, if played like a C2N - e.g. reversing the record on tape and then loading it.)

Trivia. "Now selling books in form of vinyl records... Hook the player to your reader to upload the book."
