SO DEMANDING posted:let's have minidiscs come back as the hipster media of choice, like cassettes this is already a thing but specifically for vaporwave as far as i can tell which kinda fits with the imagined retro culture of vaporwave in general, cuz like no one was trading business funk and mall lobby music on minidiscs back in the day or whatever, but the whole aesthetic is nostalgia for something that never really existed

remember those weird cds with unusual shapes? how did they even work? was there just no data outside the last radius where they could make a complete track?  were they rotationally balanced? how fast could you spin one without them exploding?

I know my 52x drive back in the day came with a giant warning not to use it with custom CD shapes, I'm sure they were all fine in a 1x audio cd player but 52x is about as fast as you could go even with a perfectly round disc before they would start shattering

Sagebrush posted:were they rotationally balanced? how fast could you spin one without them exploding? to not answer the question: while lovely discs exploding wasn't unknown it tended to self-regulate pretty well since the drives dialed back the speed on read errors, so the first signs of warping and they'd slow right down.
