Shiny is better.

@ludolphus It’s the time of the year. All the seasons in one day.

@ludolphus Having some wonky weather too, huh?

@Kabuku It gives me a bit of the same feeling, although I now have to test it with my Koss headphones. Any offline music device is good in my book, but the sound quality of the MD really impressed me.

@Kabuku It was only last year that I finally got one of the classic iPods, mechanical hard drive and everything. Another device that I look forward to enjoy out and about, in its own way.

@Kabuku Good ideas and interesting topics are well worth staying with. This is material enough for at the very least a podcast episode, I’d say.
937735
@Kabuku At least the mentality is alive and well, it would seem.

@peemee @Kabuku Meanwhile I’m a MD rookie by every measure. Never got to enjoy the format back when it was hip, and before MP3 players took over.

Darn fun to enjoy in the year 2021 though, so I’m not sad. Will be playing my summer tunes on MD for sure!

@thedoctor Precisely! People who can’t understand the greater good and why we can’t relax until we’ve truly got this down, vaccinated most people and all.
937716
@Kabuku No, no, not at all. I got your angle on the matter. 🙂

I am also curious about the whole matter. Quite interesting to how formats that should be relegated to history is kept alive in a fashion, via small communities.

And as if I already didn’t think people are absolute idiots, there are fuckwits meeting in the hundreds during a pandemic “because you need to have some fun too…”. The idiots I have to share this country with! 🤬

@Kabuku I’m guessing is more of an availability thing, rather than the audio fidelity. Admittedly, my ears are not as good as they used to be, but I can’t hear any difference between a CD and MD.

Having the hardware is probably where the issue lies.
937375
@Kabuku Indeed, and agreed! I’ll just keep buying on Bandcamp, try to aim for the special Fridays, and help the artists as best I can. Hopefully it’ll turn more profitable and reasonable for more people.

@Kabuku Wow, never had that experience. Strange, but as you said, probably better money in the views on YouTube.

@joanna Once one get used to the constant noise, it’s really hard to live without.

I need to invest in some UPS…

@Kabuku Speaking of which, I accidentally spotted that NewWaveRetro had some albums on minidisc. Last time I checked they were out of stock so I have no idea what’s up there. Anyways, I pulled the trigger and one is already on its way. 😁

@33MHz @literary Indeed! But anyone who is smarter than me would hire someone to do it for them, or get some buddies together to aid in the process.

I did neither, because I apparently hate myself…

Talk about nothing; moving house is tedious, tiresome, and makes my body ache.

2/10, would not recommend.

@joe I’m probably one of the new Game Boy enthusiasts who have little to no interest in this.

Don’t get me wrong, their work is very fine and quite impressive. It’s just not my particular cup of tea when it comes to the Game Boy.

@joanna Major suckage! Always hate it when power goes out like that. For some reason I also wake up, dunno why. Like you, I tend to stay awake for a while, just to make matters worse.

@Kabuku EXCITEMENT!

Anything old?
