Theoretical question about how CD's work


Theoretically, can the contents of a CD be printed out onto sheets of paper in 1’s & 0’s, re-entered digit by digit (say, by a generous helper monkey with an infinite lifespan) into some sort of program, and the same sound will be replicated? Just trying to understand how CD’s work (though I’ve been trying for 25 years and it still seems like magic to me).

Geoff, I've noticed that you have frequently posted about the scattered light problem since you started selling a product to help eliminate this problem.  There's nothing wrong with that if you discovered a problem and came up with a solution. 

It would be helpful to us and you, though, if you provided the evidence that shows that scattered light increases reading errors for cds that cd players don't correct.  If the evidence is simply that you hear a subjective improvement when playing cds treated with your product, it would be good to know that too.   


 You may think of it as a logic puzzle.


In that case,  logic tells me that you are trying to take advantage of highly suggestible people.
