hmmm, sounds interesting. so, the track is just raw c64 data that's been recorded to an LP? reminds me of some of my early experiences with my first "computer", a TI/994a, circa 1983. all i had for storage were cassettes, and whenever you saved/loaded a file, you heard the data played back through the cassette deck's speaker. i remember it actually sounded pretty decent, although fairly similar to the ping&noise of any modem. it's just nice to see that even though i didn't have any good records or radio stations to listen to when i was a kid, there were other musical outlets available. :) ethan ps - i don't know how good the error correction techology is in a c64 cassette deck and file format, but i'm guessing that there would be too many pops on an LP to successfully transfer the file. still a neat concept. does the track just sound like data, or does it have "musical" elements? --- Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 15:33:08 -0500 (EST) To: idm@hyperreal.org From: "R.
