There was one page where there was a wav sample I listened to: if you hit the "sounds" link on the LHS...I wonder though; it didn't sound all that impressive (which is congruent with reports I have heard re: laser readers...): but really I would have liked to hear a comparison with what someone can do using the same recording with the right stylus and weight...where is the control group? Every experiment requires a control group :) Really, a description of the state the recording was in would have been nice too...
Where taking photographs might come in handy, rather than lasers, is in piecing together records that are in pieces...I won't claim this as my idea: a friend of mine who is now working at McGill mentioned it to me as an idea when we were kicking around the can about preservation issues...seems a number of people are thinking along those lines...

Can't tell how effective a process it is, due to the MP3 artifacting. Also, they don't give us what they started with as heard from a conventional player, so I would not be able to make a comparison.

Perhaps now the tinfoil playback problem has been solved!
There is a description of this system in the July 2003 IASA Journal.
