The Management posted:fun fact, CDs are literal spirals with one long track, not sectors like a hard drive. they are designed to be able to play with no buffering so the bits can go directly from the laser to the DAC. it’s basically a phonograph but with digital encoding. how do tracks work? i.e. how does the player know where to advance to when you hit 'next track'

it fascinated me how they worked out how to put sound between songs like you couldn’t skip to it, but it wasn’t part of the previous track. you had to go to the previous track and let it go past the end to hear it

also things started happening as far as song length and time goes etc on dark side of the moon or wish you were here the original vinyl just lists the songs in order but when they made the cd they had to put a stake in the ground as far as when one song starts and another finishes also on copies of reign in blood they hosed up the start of raining blood and put the end of postmortem as the start of it so you get videos of kids playing along to raining blood but starting with the end of postmortem hahahahah classic funy times

I'd come home with so many drat cds. one time on the bus there was an elderly black gentleman with a velvet crown on his head, in a wheelchair, on his way to dialysis, who asked me to release the wheelchair lock when we got to his stop but being a dumb white kid i somehow couldn't figure it out so the bus driver had to come help. thankfully it was just the two of us and maybe 3-4 more so i didn't have a whole bus mad at me for slowing things down

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:how do tracks work? i.e. how does the player know where to advance to when you hit 'next track' CDs have a table of contents at the start that lists the tracks, kind of like a partition table. however, there are no discrete blocks on audio CDs. instead they use time codes. there is a very low bitrate signal encoded in the data stream that contains the current time ( a cd player doesn’t need to keep track of what the current track is or the time, it can display the track and time codes directly from the disc with no processing. sometimes you’ll see a cd player show -1 seconds before a track starts. that’s literally in the time codes on the disc.

CDs were designed to be read by extremely simple ASICs with basically no compute power. like I said, they’re basically phonograph records with digital encoding.

which makes it hilarious that there’s still cd transports [as in no dac and they output pcm over spdif] that cost deece 4 or 5 figures

the folks who do care about the ps1 that way also insist you leave it running for like 24hrs before playing anything on it
