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! :)

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.
