I assume you mean actual binary encoding into the vinyl?
Now that's a hacker idea if I ever heard one. I assume the way to do it would be to use a modem the same way the internet operated over dial-up. Listening to the vinyl would sound the same as when you accidentally picked up a phone on the same line, a static-y kind of squeal.
It does make me wonder what the maximum practical bitrate would be -- more than phone lines with their severely limited frequency range, that's for sure. Could it handle CD-quality FLAC audio?
It also makes me wonder how you'd manage records wearing out. What type of distortion occurs, and how might that affect how you'd spread bits over the spectrum, or would it affect which error correction code you'd use?
