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."
