The graph doesn't show a specific time for (t), I don't know why you would conclude it's a full second.
Read the table under "Audio Sampling > Sampling Rate," you can see telephone is 8000Hz (samples per second), not 8Hz. For CDs it's 44,100 samples per second.
"Not a reproduction as one was missing the other 92 points" Other 92 points? There's no set limit of 100 anywhere, you can sample as fast or slow as you like. Once per second or a million times per second, and nothing will be missing as long a you meet the Nyquist limit for your signal spectrum.
It's not enough to read about it, you have to read and understand!
I did read it and saw the increased sampling rate, not to of posted it wouldn't of been right. What I was getting at was if you connect the sampling "points" you will come up with a graph.
I understood sampling when CD's first came out and defended vinyl by CD's very nature.
I honestly don't download much music, I found MTV right after it came on the air, it was always on 24/7; now preferring youtube videos of music I like much more (even at low resolutions).
I do have a mess of them (songs) on a hard drive I purchased at Good Will, whoever put it together grabbed about any artist you can think, of sadly lots of cRAP. I was just after the hard drive the songs/music was a hell of a bonus.
So not able to get into a discussion of recording of the music as time has progressed, just the fact it's sampled and not a true wave form.
