Back in my foolish youth I made cassette recordings of certain rare LPs ... then gave the original LPs away.

This past weekend I transferred some of those cassettes to CD-R. Eh, it's better than nothing.

John Logie Baird recorded TV on discs back in the '20s.

This reminds me of something I was curious about: to what extent does the bias signal on an analog tape get recorded. I know that if one plays a tape with a conventional head, the bias signal, even if present on the tape, will be significantly attenuated on playback, but if the bias signal is physically recorded on the tape, I would think that a digital readout of an analog tape could yield audio that was better than anything that could ever have been gotten off the tape by conventional means even when the tape was new.
