The other night, whilst getting ready for bed, I was listening to Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor. I was humming along, and then I thought, "It'd be pretty cool to play this backwards."
As I laid in bed, the wheels started to turn. As curiosity struck, being destructive and young, I found
an old CD player and ripped it apart (for lack of those small screwdrivers) to get a look at the motor. Alas, it was encased in metal, and I lacked the energy to pry it open, nor did I want to destroy the mysterious insides.
It would be novel to have the option to play cds backward. I have no idea on how to go about implementing this idea, never having seen the insides of the drive.

Well, you don't make a new invention just by putting an old invention in a different room. |

Baked.A mate of mine uses a pro spec cd player with this function.(see link)Not sure if its this model but he can play entire cds backwards. |
|
| |
John Cage would sound, like, totally palindromic on this! |

Listening to Beethoven sonatas backwards is how John Lennon came up with "Because". (In that case, the Moonlight, but the Pathetique would be interesting too.) |
|

The CD Player in my car has an audible 'rewind' function. You have to hold a button down, but it accomplishes the same thing. |
|
| |
Why did you rip the CD player apart? Did you think you could just reverse the motor? Learn something about how a CD works, OK? |
|
| |
I ripped it apart because I had no idea what the inside of the motor would look like, or how it works, and because I knew it still wouldn't work if I actually took it apart. So I chose the fun way. |
|
| |
So sue me if I don't know how the motor works :^( I was going to find out at 12 o'clock at night if I could reverse it or not. [ironfroggy] enlighten me, if you will. |
|
| |
[sufc] thats a good link, but I was thinking like a home cd player that I could afford. I don't want to have a receiver and all that fun stuff. |
|
| |
Now I can listen to my favorite satanic lyrics on my CDs! |
|
| |
(Veritas)The idea is still baked anyway.The link is a cd player that can play cds backwards and there are a lot more on the market.Given time this feature will be seen on household hifi stuff and prices will come down. |
|
| |
But what would reversing the motor have done? Nothing. It wouldnt be able to read the damn CD at all then. CD pits are arranged in a spiral fashion and if you spin the disc backwards it wouldnt line up right with the pits. not to mention it would read the pits backwards and the data would be complete screwed up. all the waveforms would be complete crap. |

and you have music backwards in your home. |
|

God dern, I figured if it would go backwards, it would read it backwards, therefore playing backwards. I never thought about the laser, I guess that would have to run backwards too. |

Hey waugs, where did you hear that? Just curious... |
