Hi all,
	I'm a novice NeXT/U*ix person and a Pink Floyd/Led Zep etc fan.  Which
led me to wonder whether music could be played "backwards" on the NeXT.  
Remember the records that yielded "Satanic messages" when played backwards?  I
happen to be a musical idiot, but can this sort of thing be done on a NeXT, and
if so, how easily?  I refer to recording and playback(wards) of pre-existing 
material as well as new material.
	Was this possible only because the record is a medium on which playback
is physically directional?  Does the concept of "playing music backwards" make
sense on a computer?  Am I setting myself up for a barrage of "What a dumb 
question" replies?  Who cares?

	Please educate me!
