when the 3.5" floppy disc came in some british media outlets were trying to make the term "stiffy disc" catch on because they weren't floppy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minidisc_(album) i remember when i first downloaded it, none of the mp3 players i had could do seamless track changes either (i guess prebuffering wasnt invented yet). it was quite the revelation when i got one that could, like a year later lol

And one of the other part timers got commission off a like 1.5k sale of a poo poo load of them which was a decent chunk for a 17 year old *Or maybe they were deaf except that doesn't really make sense e: deaf not dead that would make even less sense

mystes posted:Was there something special about the format that enabled that? or like is there a limitation in red book audio that makes it hard to do that with CDs? no its just random access memory vs sequential data i guess in theory you could make a minidisc player that pauses, but the disk is so small that seek time isnt a problem in most cases Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Jan 25, 2025 |

you can pause a minidisc, but the stop button just picks right back up where you were anyway unless you double press it or eject the disc, so I don’t see any point in it. honestly wonder how many people used minidiscs for podcasts early on since its low quality mode would get you about 5 hours and podcasts don’t care about audio quality.
