- Ref: Using CDs as a OTP
-
- I like the idea, especially as my CD player has a digital output [ :-) ]
-
- However, does the digitised music make a *good* random sequence? Almost all
- music has repetitive sequences in it, would this constitute enough of a
- probelm to worry about??
-
- Of course, there are certain problems. For example, a Kylie Minogue CD
- will yield n identical sequences where n is the number of tracks....
-
- And, of course, it is well known that the KGB (or whatever they're called
- this week) have been distributing truly random OTPs in the UK music market
- for some time, they call it rave music...... :-)
