Method for playing audio signals provided on a photograph

A method for recoding and playing an audio signal provided on a photograph, the method comprising the steps of:

• in a combined camera and printer device:
• sensing an image and recording an audio signal;
• generating coded data at least partially indicative of the audio signal;
• and
• printing a photograph including the image and the coded data;
• in a reader through which the photograph is fed:
• scanning the coded data;
• decoding the coded data to determine the audio signal;
• and
• outputting for playback of the audio signal, wherein
• the step of printing prints the coded data in the same area as the image, and
• the step of printing prints the coded data to include a beginning target boundary spatially displaced from a start of the coded data in a feed direction of the photograph through the reader, and an end target boundary spatially displaced from an end of the coded data in the feed direction.
