| 1115.1 | CD + CDROM ! | VOLGA::D_MONTGOMERY | I'm only sleeping... | Tue Mar 15 1988 06:54 | 19 |
| wow - sounds like they're incorporating the CDROM technology [text,
data] with the commercial CD technology [audio] to come up with
the best of both!
From the other direction (so to speak), one of the major encyclopedia
companies offers the set on CDROM, and the code includes:
text
graphics
photographs
audio
for instance, if you look up "John F. Kennedy", you get a menu from
which to choose a short biography, quotes, photographs, or some
parts of his famous speeches in *audio*!
The opportunities for this technology are mind-boggling!

| I know of no commercially available subcode decoders. I am surprised
that they would even bother. "CD-Interactive" seems to be the new
technology aimed at this market.

| I think the Firesign Theatre's disc, "Eat or Be Eaten" also included
some video graphics stored in the subcode on the disc. It was not
a tremendous success.

| "Trememdous Success"? If you meant "did it sell a lot of subcode
readers, you're right.
However, "Eat or Be Eaten" is in my Top Three Firesign performances
list- and far better than that rather recent "Fighting Clowns".
Now, if only they'd put "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus" onto
CD.

| What I meant was that the version with the subcode graphics never
got released. I understand from a review in Digital Audio that it
was a lot of fun. I was not passing judgement on the modified
non-graphics version that eventually came out (I have heard some of
it - I prefer their older stuff).
