Thank you! Keep going with this vids!

I have Japan pressed CDs, SHM, Non-SHM, Blu Spec...most of them sound better than the red book versions released in America. I can really tell a difference from CDs released in Japan in late 80s and early 90s vs their American pressings. the Japan versions definately are superior.

Im 20 and i really want a walkman

I have an old double VHS edition of The Godfather. I have no VCR to play it on, but can’t bring myself to get rid of that double VHS box.

Yes, I still love, purchase and collect cds. Unbeatable sound ( when decently mastered), very practical for handling and use. Plus the attraction of having art and liner notes...

Very useful. I am new to this recorder but use it everyday.

MiniDisc is great. I used it back in days a lot for Recording from PC audio sources. 🤔.. Its a bummer that my JVC CD/MD deck that i bought new back in beginning of 2000, got failure. And the MD side wont work anymore there ok.. Should buy some other secondhand Deck as i have lot of MD discs in my collections.. 🤔

Days of future passed!!

Thanks for the video. Can you export the files with the normalization feature? Also, are the stereo mics ok? Looking to grab it for recording ambient background sounds at shopping malls etc. Would you think it would be ok? Thanks for your time.

Another helpful video on this Sony recorder. I have one motivated to buy from your earlier videos, and it’s been fantastic. I also use it to transfer original music from my old analog R2R and Tascam DP008 digital recorder. Would the normalization be just as effective as an equalizer? I think I know the answer but am curious what you think. Also, I appreciate you making these videos because they truly help in getting the most out of this incredible recorder. Thanks.

a someone who is autistic I do wish some people would put some time to make a quality modern VCR that'd have HDMI

I still have my old 5.25" floppies with the programs I wrote for my Commodore 64 back in the 80s. I am hoping to be able to acquire a working C64 and Commodore 1541 disk drive in the near future to be able to relive the old days and have a kind of "my personal computing history" collection at home. I hope the disks are still readable and, if they are, that their contents can be transferred to fresh floppies and maybe other media.

I have an old camera that stores photos on floppy disks, so I use them still sometimes.

Floppies ...the "USB-Sticks" of the 90s

Retro tech circles still use floppies, since its hard to convince these old systems to accept modern solutions such as drive emulators

Yes, I have a few files on 3½ inch floppies. Key-files and the like. Though I am unsure where the floppies are.

Ja.

I have a Commodore 64 computer that I use mainly for retrogaming. I grew up with a C64, and got back into it during the mid-2010s. I have the same floppy disks I've had since the late 80s and early 90s. These are 5 1/4" floppy disks.

I remember even in the late 90s, being somewhat annoyed by their small storage, especially as friends had games and things that just wouldn't fit on a floppy.

from the 90s till the 2000s? Well, no 🙂 If you don't take the big 8" Floppies from the 70s in account, floppies were also very popular in the 80s and more or less the dominating media. Also the shown 3,5" disk was invented by Sony already at the beginning of the 80s.

I still have my original install floppies of 'Pressworks' & 'Designworks', both of which are installed on a XP 'Cube' PC and they still work.

I bought two brand new store-bought boxes of floppy discs in 2019. So even if the big brands stopped making them in 2011, someone still made new floppy discs five years ago.

I remember using floppy disks in the 90s up to mid 00s. Their storage capacities were pretty bad compared to CD-ROMs which were being introduced around that time, but they were cheap, convenient and you could edit and remove data from them unlike CD-ROMs which were locked in after burning data on them once. I used them all the time for games, text, image, sound and MS-Office files.

I loved those as a kid and obviously moved on starting with my first 64MB USB 1.1 flash drive in the early 2000's. BUT I too have a somewhat vintage laptop with a floppy drive in it. Dunno if it still works but I'd like to try it. There are many cool games which just feel better on a 4:3 screen.

Two twenty-somethings at the water cooler, when the head of IT approaches: "Silence! It is The Elder! He who speaks of floppy disks."

I'm one of those weirdos who stores video files on floppies for the hell of it. Also had to write a copy of Blue Monday on mp3 to a 5.25" disk because of the vinyl cover. It was also fun trying to get as many compact games, demos and tracker songs as I could onto an ancient single sided 180k floppy. I think it's possible to get Shakespeare's entire works on a 3.5" floppy if you use 7z and DMF. My boot disks, essential software, games and multimedia examples for old CDless computers are a slightly more practical.

I have a collection of flexi discs in an accordion file folder. Mostly from music magazines like Guitar Player, Keyboard, one from Modern Drummer, and a few music product promos. And I have 3 Mad Magazine discs: Making Out, It’s A Super Spectacular Day (which had about 5-7 different endings), and Mad Disco which is an2-sided mini album with 6 tunes. I’m so glad I kept them.

Not actively, but have kept all my pc games and some computers/external drives to use them. Way more reliable than the trouble I'm having with a western digital external address today :-(

If Prince wrote When Doves Cry with a Behringer clone instead of the "real" synth, would ANYONE care? The people that complain about this crap aren't even writing music

I have a refurbished DVD/VCR 📀📼combo that I got from Wal-Mart years ago. I like to use it to watch my Rush🎸 DVD's and my old Clint Eastwood🤠 spaghetti 🍝western movies🎥 on VHS.And I'm an old vinyl junkie too.

Good i want buy

Digital album sales and even new cds are made fairly hard to find as not all releases come out in that format. It's sort of like when manufacturers discontinued vinyl albums and singles in the late 80's as they cannibalized their own sales and declines were that much more dramatic. The first rule of retail is, you can't sell the man empty shelves. If you could monitor how many used cds and vinyl records sold that would be a good indicator but that info can't be obtained. Most music except for current and best selling catalog titles are out of print and it's always sort of worked that way since it costs to warehouse titles and if they don't sell, that's throwing good money after bad. Most collectors are like myself where they want to explore a given era in depth. Classic rock, soul, and jazz is often limited on cd because the cd wasn't current at that point in time. For 90's and later, vinyl is limited because they didn't sell in massive numbers when that music was current either.

I still have two vcr recorders.

I don't see console manufacturers or movie/TV distributors utilizing these new discs, so assuming burners are eventually made available to the public it will be up to fan communities to make something of them. With Linux gaming growing in popularity for both PC gaming and running emulators, I hope this means a standarduzed system is worked out for a console-like Linux distro to run a variety of games from these discs (heck, maybe the discs could contain a tailored Linux distro that launches for running said games and emulators off of them). Thankfully video will be easier to sort out, what with several standard formats already existing.

I have 4 VCRs one in living room one in bedroom and other 2 I have put away I've just started to collect VHS tapes again I love the sound of them especially when you rewind or fast forward I still tape on my blank tapes I love it this is what I grew up with my mum and dad I will never stop watching them

Yeah... I remember those... Many of times they were free and featured really shitty music... I remember them growing up in the 80's.

I remember McDonald's gave one away in the early 80's

I would love to see used/reseller numbers. Been buying CDs to get my collection back up on ebay

Back in my day ..( oh dear I sound like I am 100 years old ) these discs were in magazines and even newspapers ...HI FI magazines had them then changed to cassettes...wish I still had mine...still got the cassettes..

I saw a copy of the McDonald's Flexi Disc that was still intact in its packaging in an antique store. Don't know how much it was selling for as it was locked away in a case.

I have a couple of flexi disc from the Beatles, and i have one that came with a album i bought a couple of years ago from CARL PERKINS. Very cool to have.

I have a stack of tapes.

I had a Flexi disc of Alfred E Newman from Mad Magazine with a re-release of his song "It's A Gas" , an instrumental with a lot of belching. Also, the National Library Service for the the Blind released several of their audio books on Flexi discs during that same time period.

I do have one of these somewhere. It's from a National Geographic magazine with an astronaut on the cover from 1969. Maybe one day I will remember where I put it and listen to it, thanks for reminding me.

I still got a couple of flexi discs. One promoting the London production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on the RSO label from 1973, "Here is your free record on which you can hear two of the many marvellous songs from the hit musical 'Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' now playing at the Albery Theatre, St. Martin's Lane, London, WC2.". I acquired it during a trip to London when I was 10. Another one I have came with April 1967 edition of Practical Wireless, that demonstrated various faults in wireless sets.

Hi there, I'm good. How are you ? 🖐🙂

Every time I listen to you or any hobbyist talk about The Good Old Shack, I wonder how could such a great place disappear!? That was just our heart and soul for electronic discoveries. I just didn’t look at that catalog, I would study it. Anyway, let’s see….. Science Fair kits, Shortwave and scanner Radios ( Which were top notch) and finally their TRS - 80 computer and peripherals. You can just take me back there and leave me there. I would be just fine. 😊

Here's an even bigger question: What in the world happened to all the unsold VCRs?!

I ALSO remember all of this.

Although I use streaming services, i never gave up CDs ! It is the symbol of the 1980s, when I was a young man !
