Kees Immink: The Man Who Put Compact Discs on Track

Remember vinyl records? More specifically, do you remember the way vinyl records skip when they’re dusty or scratched?
Let me assume you’re old enough to recall that annoyance, or perhaps you’ve experienced that vintage technology more recently. Now think back to when you got your first CD. Small and shiny, packing 74 minutes of music, it seemed magical, even more magical when you noticed that you could treat a disc pretty badly before physical damage affected the way it played.
A lot of different kinds of engineering, of course, went into figuring out how to put music on a CD and play it back so reliably. There’s hardware, including a laser, optics to focus it, and mechanical systems to move the laser and turn the disc. And there’s software—including pulse-code modulation, which turns regular samples of an analog signal into bits, and error-correcting codes, which make sure those bits don’t get corrupted.
And there’s one more piece of the CD puzzle: how to translate the digital bits into physical marks on the disc itself. This piece, known as the channel code, deserves much of the credit for making CDs skip resistant without sacrificing playing time. For this encoding scheme and related optical-
