Amanda Ghassaei breaks down her 3-D printed record experiment on
Vimeo. This might potentially be a new way to distribute music. Or not.

In order to explore the current limits of 3D printing technology, I?ve created a program for converting digital audio into a 3D model of a record and printed some functional prototypes that play on ordinary record players. The audio on the records is very low resolution, it has a sampling rate of 11kHz (a quarter of typical mp3 audio) and 5-6bit resolution (less than one thousandth of the resolution of typical 16 bit audio), but the result is easily recognizable.
