Maybe I'll ask a stupid question, but even so: Is it possible to download the program from a vinyl record?

With cassettes, I know you can, but with a vinyl record, how is it?

Yes you can! The principle, for example, of tone transmission of a signal with redundant coding, as in modems.
Yes, you can calculate how much will fit on a 42-minute disc. 64 kbps * 42 minutes ~ 17 megabytes per side or 34 megabytes per double-sided disc.

Even communication via carrier pigeons is possible - the main thing is to have the appropriate driver! :)

you can write it down, but there will be problems with reading - it’s not a very reliable medium

On vinyl, just like on a magnetic tape, not a program is recorded, but a sound. Those. Anything that could be recorded on tape can also be recorded on a record. But in the days of tape programs (ZX Spectrum, Radio86, Specialist, etc.), vinyl recording devices were inaccessible and, in terms of information storage reliability, records were much inferior to cassettes
