put your cds in the freezer for an hour before playing them to get the best sound. this only needs to be half an hour for post-bebop jazz have as few LPs as possible, but use a laser turntable for them so that you can get as close as possible to cd quality if you record anything on to cassettes you must use side B to record the exact same audio as side A *but in reverse* like twin peaks. this ensures each note goes all the way through the tape and provides a greater depth of sound

echinopsis posted:the thing that seems very cool about cds is they seem a bit “hackable”, like people learned to abuse them a bit, for example tracks before track 1, you could only access by rewinding and some players couldn’t do it there's also this: https://www.instructables.com/Burning-Pictures-on-a-Compact-Disc-Surface/

it would be sick if you could also store usable data/audio along side it. I guess you could if you don't use the entire disc space for the graphic. I only skimmed the article so maybe they mention this

Silver Alicorn posted:you might be thinking of the low capacity discs for PS2. yeah this. the blue backed ps2 games were just CDs I’m pretty sure. the ‘slide card’ swap disks for ps2 came with two disks, one a DVD driver and the other a CD driver, and you had to use the CD driver disk for the blue backed ones ps1 disks mostly had black dye with a few exceptions. if you were to buy FF origins today off squeenixes site it might intsead have a clear backing

ordering a pro action replay or whatever it was called from a seedy catalog back page and it actually working was one of our great young revelations. my one pal fell over
