Shiny is better.

@33MHz I already have a portable unit, so a nice deck is where I can expand, so to speak.

Now that I have a bigger place, I can start looking for a nice minidisc deck again. 🤪

@Kabuku I have reasonably varied temperatures during the year, but the real problem factor is called “having kids”. 😕

Guess I’ll have to figure out some tamper-proof storage.

@33MHz Well, I suppose, there could be worse ways to transfer information?

@joanna @Kabuku I think it’s only a matter of time before I get some vinyl. As long as I can secure a record player that does not suck, I’ll probably be stuck.

@33MHz So they want you to have warm legs while enjoying your new video games, it would seem.

A port of Shenmue and Shenmue 2 to the Nintendo Switch would make me one very happy camper!

@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.
937736
@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.
