| Analog is recorded with sine waves, whereas digital is recorded with
| square waves, which take up more room.
Where did you get that bit of misinformation?
| Also, tapes sound better if the tape is moved past the head faster
| (lower density).
Not for digital media. The capacity of digital media is a function of the
size of the read/write heads. For example, DDS-2 is a 120m DAT tape and
stores 4GB of data, while DDS-3 is a 125m tape and stores 12GB of data, a
three-fold increase.
| So there is less available time that the tape has per foot. So the data
| is compressed to make it fit.
Just... wrong.
