Abrégé

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for retrieving information from tapes. The first group of read elements may be positioned adjacent to the first track and the second group of read element may be adjacent to the second track. In some embodiments, the system may include a second read sensor. Multiple readings of the electromagnetic fields generated by the first track may be collected using multiple read elements of the first group, A composite interpretation of a set of data encoded on the first track may be generated based on the multiple readings of the electromagnetic fields generated by the first track that are collected by the multiple read elements of the first group.

Abrégé

Systems and methods are disclosed for retrieving information from legacy storage media with high fidelity and minimal contact. A read sensor with multiple read elements detects electromagnetic fields from tracks on a storage medium. Readings from different elements are combined to generate a composite interpretation, which can be used to, for example, generate digitized waveforms and determine if portions of tracks are damaged.
