“In November 1981, a music critic from The New York Times traveled to Philadelphia to test a local physician’s amazing ability to recognize any piece of classical music merely by looking at the pattern of grooves on a vinyl LP. The critic handed Dr. Arthur Lintgen several label-less LPs, and was delighted to see him correctly identify the music within seconds merely by looking at the records’ surface.
Now, a university student from Israel has written a piece of software that goes a step further. Ofer Springer has created a ‘virtual gramophone’ that plays LPs using an ordinary flatbed scanner.”

Sorry! There’s a link here now. This is a very old entry (2003!) that was converted from an earlier format, so the link was embedded in the title.
All fixed, now! Cheers!
