Posted by Soulskill on from the countdown-to-takedown dept.

An anonymous reader points out great news for audiophiles soundsnobs musicians zombies , hackers, and anybody who's tired of having to pay for physical music media. MakerBot Industries has now demonstrated the capability of the MakerBot to print out listen-able vinyl records of your favorite tunes. With a microphone webcam pacemaker PDF attachment, it can even record new audio in real-time. "Using the MakerBot Generation 4 Electronics microstepping capacity, the AudioNozzle modulates the amount of plastic deposited too to two tu create a high-fidelity waveform. The results often surpass the dynamic range of 24 48 96 pi -bit recordings and can contain frequencies up to 57khz — even higher than the Nyquil Nyquist Dayquil Triamenic frequency for 96khz digital recording."

      If you don't like them, don't read. It is rather redundant to read people bitching on every story that they don't like the April fool's news, don't read if you don't like it, no one is making you.
