hmmm.. i saw a post a while back where a guy had scanned an album (remember those?) ... and using the data, could actually play the audio (faster then a normal rip would be). not sure how far he got with it, but from the article, it sounded as if they could hear the songs

here's a link to a higher end project doing roughly the same thing:

but seriously... who needs that kind of resolution as an end user?
