The title interested me in that I was curious how X-ray images of records could be re-rendered as audio or vinyl discs ...
But no! They took old x-ray prints and pressed the records right into them! It's an excellent idea and one my just-awoken brain could not get to on its own.
- 4ad 11y agoI wonder if X-ray images of records could be decoded as audio. It's been done with regular pictures, there was a really good article about this that I can't find anymore. However it should be more complicated with x-ray images as they are a different mapping between the disc and the image.

- Roboprog 11y agoI remember magazines in the 80s (e.g. - "Keyboard" magazine) putting in flippy little inserts that played.
