Abstract
An apparatus for encoding digital data for storage on a data storage medium includes a non-deterministic randomizer code generator. The randomizer code generator may select different randomizer codes for different portions of the data to be stored. The randomizer code used to randomize a given portion of the data may be stored on the media for use in subsequent data retrieval.
