Nyquist assumes that all you want is to reproduce is a sine wave. Music is
not all sine waves.


Fourier demonstrates that *any* waveform, including music, can be
represented as a series of superimposed sinewaves. Hence, Nyquist and
Shannon are correct in their postulations. While music may not
*appear* to be sinewaves, it can be so treated for the purposes of
reproduction. Bottom line of course is that digital audio works, and
reproduces music more accurately than any other system.
