Midjack posted:slower was always less error prone, and if your drive wrote some bits that were just a little out of spec but that it could still read then your drive would pass the disc but a different drive might be less tolerant of the deviation. i think the psx drives were somewhat less error tolerant than a lot of pc drives so the rule of thumb was to go slow to ensure your disc was readable by as many drives as possible. u could just turn your ps1 upside down, op

devmd01 posted:speaking of dads and funy tech poo poo, clip-art compilation cds. I don’t even know how many of them he picked up but it was a ridiculous amount. He then made an even more ridiculous numbers of greeting cards with the clip art collection and our inkjet. I distinctly recall him trying to sell them at some flea market/christmas bazaar type thing. My mom had a bunch of clip art since she did typesetting type work, so I had the brain genius idea of trying to sell clip art prints to kids at my school to put in their lockers and stuff. Didn't really work out!!! echinopsis posted:once my brother took all his cds to a campsite near the beach, all in his pocket outside of covers or cases or whatever, got a wee bit of sand in his pocket and after however long when he eventually went to use them discovered they were all hosed Sniep posted:what if they are christian rock cds Then his brother saw two sets of foot prints on the sand turn into one. That was where Jesus got so much sand on him that no one could hear him so he just gave up and left.

my first job as a frontend dev was at a bank which charged me with making sure their website looked correctly on ie6 and some ancient version of opera in 1024x768 because they had a belarussian branch and that's what most of their users were on this was in 2012/2013

help me out here, thread, i'm remembering on macos 10.early (this was like 2004?) there was a program called monkeybrainz that you could use to batch edit mp3 tags. It was pretty decent at getting the correct info from the internet and could even do album art (maybe im misremembering!?) I used it a lot to rip cds and organize the tags. unfortunately for me google searching is absolute dogshit and im also probably wrong about the app name and the timeframe

whenever automated tagging for macos comes up i always recommend subler for mp4 contained media. very useful app, you can re-encapsulate other formats with it too

there were quite a few years where I was broke rear end student and most of my music was various netlabel/creative commons releases. enough records, entity, clinical archives, nulll etc. were my jams. and demoscene musicdisks and mixes like bitjam. also whatever I could find listenable on archive.org, which was still more of a curio than "everything in one place" paradise it is now nothing like downloading a zip file named ntlbl-rls069.zip and finding a bunch of mp3 files with no tags at all and just a .nfo file

It was the only 20 GB that survived a HDD failure of my old music collection. Also, gently caress you apple for putting things in random folders with random strings of letters for file names.

It does not help that I organized all my music by keeping the file names meticulously accurate. The ID3 tags are a wild West of messed up but there is some info there that is helping the process.
