Since you’re burning audio data to create the visual image, you can’t also store data, etc.
For everyone saying "I've seen this before"; yes, yes you have. It was released commercially back when optical disks were... relevant.
Released 23 years ago, discontinued 15 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiscT@2
Pretty sure Technology Connections has a video that mentions it.
How famous is Lemmy? The linked hackaday post seems to be from 2022, the github page had last activity 3 years ago.
Perhaps hackernews was a middlestep: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44208283
But otherwise it (activity) may as well originate from my recent Lemmy post: https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/36007202 (the old subdomain usually works as well as the API, but the native Lemmy frontend on SDF, 502 or long wait)
I've also seen Lemmy being used as a source for something on Linus Tech Tips.
Btw, the technique is called DVD data art.

I mean it looks kind of cool but then other than that what's the point?
Its just neat
I think it could be forked to append images to actual audio tracks, but I am too dumb to do so.
Using old discs for something neat.
Someone just needs to make a double sided CD-R so we can have data and artwork on it.
Now I'm off to find a CD and a computer with a CD rw drive. Wish me luck!
I feel like I remember someone doing this like 10 years ago. Can't find a link.
I understand it only works with CDs, but does this work with DVD burners, while burning CDs? Or does it require a CD-only burner?
