Gregory's ServerYeah, that was what I was thinking: A side for digial, B side for analog. I mean, aside from the whole diameter thing, of course.
Flip-side (heh): haven't they also come up with optical readers for vinyl? Expensive af, iirc, but it's a thing?

 I thought the aluminum coating was *inside* the plastic shell? Maybe it's the double-sided ones I'm thinking of. (It may be apparent that I've never looked closely at CDs.)  @cavyherd for a CD the coating is on top, covered by a thin layer of lacquer. For DVD's it's sandwiched between two thin plastic disks  Oh. Dust. Right. Which tend to, uh, alter the vinyl, ahem. Interesting. I would expect some degree of algorithmic correction could address that? Probably too late in the game/too low volume to be worth it, but I'm a little surpised no one's come up with non-static vinyl. |
@cavyherd @uint8_t pretty hard to do with a regular CD cause the aluminium coating is directly on the top, together with the laquer and printing, Would probably work better with a double sided DVD since they have the aluminium coating sandwiched on the inside
