VinylDisc: Hey you got vinyl on my CD

[Rudolf von Hagenwil]

 

British rockers Fightstar will be the first band to use the odd format.

 

A German company has combined a digital CD and vinyl record to yield a hybrid music media. The musical sandwich holds 70 minutes of digital on the CD side and three minutes of audio on the vinyl flip side. Digital Trends calls it "a a bizarre Frankenstein marriage of formats." Now, where did I put my turntable? Oh no! It needs a new belt.

Another interesting idea is a program that plays wave files from a turntable, you can play the turntable and look cool but it actually plays the wave file. Next time you see someone playing turntables he's probably playing a digital wave file.

It all started with Stanton's Final Scratch.

they have just ripped this idea off from the home lathe folks. home lathers have been cutting records into anything plastic you can imagine for a long time. frisbees, food container lids, etc... i have a cdr on one side/home lathed record on the other from someone i know. it doesn't work correctly on an auto return record player, as the radius of a cd is almost as small as the label area on an lp or 7" so as sooon as you put the arm down, it returns... i got it to play on a non-auto return though and the home cut sound has it's charm.
