I made a new video about a thing which I'm fairly sure most everybody using this platform will already know about!

tezoatlipoca@mas.to@TechConnectify omg. For a decade before I finally sprung for a Bluetooth enabled head unit, my car stereo was a SONY DNF340 mp3 CD walkman and a 1/8" to cassette adapter. I had custom rigged a cigarette adapter to AA doohickey so it was powered by the car. Probably the most reliable head unit I've ever owned.

informalinsect@mas.to@TechConnectify MP3 CDs were great for the car. Have each artist's works on a single CD, very convenient!

fluffy@plush.city@TechConnectify I seem to have gotten banned from your comments by posting a relevant thing about mp3.com; they were a place for indie bands to sell their music online, and one of their services was to provide CD-Rs on-demand which also included an mp3 data track. It was very much a worst of both worlds situation though, because it still had the time limit due to redbook audio, but all the audio came from 128Kbps MP3 (the only upload format they supported) so it sounded like crap either way.

amaldorai@mas.to@TechConnectify Alec, apologies for using your replies, but I'm trying to reach you for a business inquiry. I'd like to license your videos to include in a kids' product I'm building. Could you or the person who handles your business inquiries email me at amal@cartwheelcomputer.com ?

fluffy@plush.city@TechConnectify Also back in 2002/2003 I bought an early mp3-compatible aftermarket car stereo (Panasonic, I think) which also worked with CD-RWs, and it was great - once a week or so I'd generate a personal radio station playlist and burn it to the same disc over and over, and it cost way less than an iPod at the time.
Once I finally got an iPod I stopped using that functionality, though, since then I could just have my whole collection in my pocket everywhere.

peterbutler@mas.to@TechConnectify As video mentions, pretty much all CD players will play MP3 CDs
I still use them to make megamixes for friends
You can get the full 780MB or whatever, which ends up being 120-150 songs, or 10-12 hours
I rip and burn CDs off an old Win7 box in my basement that still “works”

@TechConnectify Putting H.264 video on a DVD is such an idea, Sony did it twice. The first was BD-9 and BD-5, Blu-ray format video on either a 8.5 or 4.7 GB DVD (rounded for good measure). It never really caught on for commercial movies, and was axed from the Blu-ray specs in 2011.
Then, when Sony adapted the Blu-ray video format into AVCHD, they made AVCHD video on a DVD part of the spec. Called AVCHD Disc, these discs can be played on most Blu-rays players.
