- By now we all (hopefully) know that lasers are used to read signals from
- CDs and videodiscs, but last weekend while visiting friends over Christmas
- I heard of a new application for the same (or similar) technology: reading
- good ol' vinyl records by contactless laser pickup. Has anyone here heard
- of this, and can anyone provide any details on HOW it is being done? This
- is one of those ideas that, to me, seems obvious in retrospect, and "it's
- a wonder nobody thought of it sooner."
