  1. Re:and the reverse... by onezan · · Score: 1 · on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting

    here's a link to the musical steganography example... http://www.kempa.com/blog/archives/000083.html

  2. Re:There is something beautiful about ... by SimilarityEngine · · Score: 2, Informative · on Old Floppy Drive Becomes New Turntable

    ...the last track was a program for ZX Spectrum

    I just had a quick google, and found this - apparently during the 70's and 80's there were a few such vinyls. Possibly the one you're thinking of was 'New Anatomy' by Inner City Unit?

    Another cool example (also mentioned on the site I linked just above) was on a record called XL-1 by Pete Shelley (of The Buzzcocks). If the program encoded in the last track was run while the music played - OH WOW images and lyrics in time with the music!

  3. Re:Data on vinyl done before by moon-monster · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Software Distribution By Vinyl

    There used to be a few speccy games on vinyl. In fact, a few 80's pop acts (Thompson Twins, Shakin' Stevens) released some as B-sides on some of their singles.

    Apparently the game wasn't very good.

    There's some more info on previous data-on-vinyl experiments here.

  4. It's hardly a first by stx23 · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Software Distribution By Vinyl

    Diverse artists such as Tomita, Shakin' Stevens & the Thompson Twins distributed software on vinyl over 20 years ago.

  5. Hasn't this been done before? by Fred+Or+Alive · · Score: 5, Informative · on Software Distribution By Vinyl

    This page has data on various vinyl records with computer data stored on them. Most of which are about 20 years old. So they're not the first to distribute computer data on vinyl.

  6. Aphex Twin by Dr.Opveter · · Score: 1 · on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind

    Aphex Twin amongst others, has been using images to make music for a long time already.
    This site has more information about the Windowlicker song.

  7. Idea for Griffin's next big product by celerityfm · · Score: 1 · on Griffin RadioSHARK Exceeds Expectations

    Griffin is incredible, they've come up with so many neat ideas! Actually, I've got another one for them: my idea on how to playback pictures through the iPod onto a television! Quick Griffin, do it before the next gen picture iPod comes out :)

    Anyways, I "bumped" that post for three reasons: to get the idea more attention, to relate that I discovered a steganography program that could be useful for this project and also to plea for help in finding a program that can generate modem audio. Unfortunately google has yet to produce anything useful, besides this funny site. I think the people discussed in this article would probably be a good resource for it, but I think, for example, that the members of the band Information Society would be hard to track down now. So I figured that after Google I should appeal to Slashdot. So anyone got any leads?
