Back in the day I was in a fairly well known industrial band, and some dumbshit at our label leaked our next CD about a month before it was to be released. So, our solution was to try to dilute the filesharing sites with, polkas, porn audio, etc under our band name/album title/song titles.

We even recruited a bunch of people on our fanlist to help. Not sure how much/if it helped.

What kind of program was it, if I may ask?

Post in the music threads once you've got some stuff done.

From their description of the specifics, I'm gonna say Pre-Sony Acid/SoundForge?

Edit: Hooooooooo donkey was I wrong.

On flexi discs, this here is New Order playing Christmas songs for the Hacienda Christmas party in 1982.

Here's how flimsy they were. They'd often require that you put some kind of weight on them like a penny, to keep them from spinning on the platten under the weight of the tonearm.



Just a perfectly fine mess of everything.

Unfortunately the only videos I found showing it with decent quality have obnoxious theatrics about the mercury switches inside.

I had this for my 64 and Holy gently caress was it terrible. Never worked worth a poo poo even in the most simple games.

All of this reminds me that I have a spare Commodore 1702 monitor for cannibalization that I've always wanted to put an LCD screen in to make it easier to use in situations that require HDMI, because using adapters to downgrade HDMI to RCA video absolutely sucks, but the bezel around the crt is curved and I can't think of a way to make that work with a flat LCD monitor panel. Now I'm sad again.

Would you all pay $200 for this? Supposedly it all works.



I don't think those are full size 19" component. Seems like they're 12" mini. And 60 watts per channel. So it's missing the speakers at least. It's the predecessor to those ubiquitous AIWA systems on every best buy shelf with the gaudy lights. It's worth 50 bucks at most.
