So you’re implying that vinyls also encode digital data? Because that clearly wrong, vinyl is analog. That’s the entire point. Did you miss that…?

If pressed vinyl is analog, than pressed cds have to be too, they’re the exact same process even. Why would you argue otherwise? Do you not understand how pressing is analog data…? You think that pressing vinyl, and pressing a cd somehow makes one digital and the other analog? That makes no fucking sense lol.

Wikipedia doesn’t even agree with you, and says what you’re saying is absolute complete bullshit lmfao.

They may contain analog or digital information, or a mixture of the two. T

What are you even on about man I never said vinyl is digital, that is obviously an analog format. Here’s the Wikipedia page for cds though saying that they’re digital in the very first line.

You’re the one saying pressed cds are digital, what makes a pressed cd digital? You’re just wrong dude.

An optical disc is a flat, usually[a] disc-shaped object that stores information in the form of physical variations on its surface that can be read with a beam of light. Optical discs can be reflective, where the light source and detector are on the same side of the disc, or transmissive, where light shines through the disc to be detected on the other side. They may contain analog or digital information, or a mixture of the two. Their main uses are the distribution of electronic media and data, and archival storage.

A cd is only one type of optical drive, and not all cds are digital, if they’re pressed, they’re analog. Like vinyl.

What are you even on about man I never said vinyl is digital,

Yes you did. A pressed cds and vinyl are the same thing, if one is analog, the other HAS to be too.

obviously an analog format

Like a pressed CD should obviously be analog too…? That’s the point lmfao.

And before you asininely claim that a laser makes it digital. There is laser vinyl readers does that somehow make vinyl a digital media…? No, so why would CDs be different?

Why don’t you read the very first line of the cd article I linked.

The compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format co-developed by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings

What makes a cd digital is that it encodes digital information, ones and zeroes. That doesn’t change whether it was pressed at a factory or burned. There are optical discs that have an analog component like laserdisc, which is probably what the optical disc article is referring to, but that wasn’t on op’s list.

Go actually learn how the formats work before talking out of your ass.
