[NetBehaviour] Digital Needle - A Virtual Gramophone.

*Digital Needle - A Virtual Gramophone.*

Remember those flat round things you may have found lying around the 
house. Those that never really worked well as flying saucers? Well, the 
other day I happenned to have a good look at one through a magnifying 
glass. I was able to discern something waveform'esqe in the shape of the 
grooves. I thought, "groovy, there must be a way to extract something 
sensible off of that" (actual thought quoted). At which point I came up 
with some great excuses ^H^H^H^H reasons to have a go:

A) These round objects could have some archeological value.
B) I could waste some time.

Happily convinced by these, I tried to recall an old legend I once heard 
concerning these objects. This legend being of technological nature, 
entaled a diamond needle that would vibrate when placed atop the 
revolving flat things, these vibrations, when amplified would produce music.

Here are the few nearly-intelligible decodings that I managed to recover 
off of the inner tracks of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons".

Listening to the following reference recording might allow you to 
recognize these as the music-within-noise they actually are!!! (I guess 
a highly imaginative listener is required too).
