The Null Device

Digital Needle

An Israeli hacker has written a program for extracting audio from scans of vinyl records. The sound quality isn't brilliant, though the original material is identifiable. Many suspected it was a hoax; though the author has now released source code. I wonder whether high-fidelity audio extraction could be achieved with commodity image scanners and audio-enhancement software.
