• Tapes have been a thing with indie hipsters and small scale electronic releases for a while.

    Reel to reel has had a little comeback in audiophile circles too. I'm sure they sound great, but the scarcity of music makes them seem pretty pointless to me.

    Next up - minidisc.

  • Don't think so.

    I loved MiniDisc back in the day! Even got the first portable recorder Sony put out (and a handful of other recorders / players after that)

    It was so much better than tape back then, but nowadays who needs a compressed digital version in a dedicated player when your phone can give you lossless anyway.

    [edit]

    actually now I remember I missed the first one back then but did get the second version -

    ..and, when that broke, the third one as well -

    I remember what a blessing it was to even have a jog-dial for naming tracks etc. 😅

    Mini disc hi-fi that you could plug a keyboard into was the ultimate for this.
