Stop reading and go and work in a CD pressing plant. Or get some of the Philips test dics with the drilled holes and the blank bars. If there is digital data in those holes I shall eat my hats. Those holes are there to demonstrate how even major data errors still result in an nice sounding audio playback stream. A lot of the audio output you hear can easily be pure fiction, derived from lookup tables embedded in a chip on the CD player PCB. CD is laden with errors, scrbbed clean by error correction. To say otherwise is rewriting the facts.
