Over the past year I’ve been getting back into #minidisc. It's the best #music format! (sorry #vinyl lovers and #cassette heads)

It started with picking up a portable player / recorder in a fit of nostalgia, and more recently I added a stereo unit which I'm really loving.

I’ve built up a collection of discs and jewel cases, and I’ve been really enjoying using #photopea and a template on bandcds.co.uk to make professional-looking jewel case covers.

To make it a little easier I came up with a Minidisc J-Card Creator webapp: https://mdcover.batgranny.fyi You can search for an album and have it automatically populate the artist name, album title, cover art, and tracklist. The cover image is scalable and you can also adjust the font size and padding for the tracklist and spine text.

I mostly made it for myself but I'm sure others might get some use out of it. I'm not a developer so it's probably riddled with bugs but it makes what can be a fiddly job, a little easier.

What Getting a Minidisc Player Working in 2026 Says About Disposable Infrastructure

NB: At some point I started using ChatGPT to help me navigate the technical issues around getting metadata for a ripped CD on Windows 98, so the entire chat might be a useful archive of that. (assuming open.ai is still around in 20 years). What’s more, I had it draft an original version of this post which I entirely re-wrote, but as I continue to play with the machine for writing, I think it is […]

Mal eben ein paar Alben auf #MiniDisc aufnehmen ginge deutlich schneller, wenn ich mir nicht immer die Discs vom Flohmarkt, die ich dabei überschreibe, erstmal anhören würde, aber manchmal ist es einfach so interessant. Gerade höre ich eine Radioshow über Musicals vom SR, die irgendjemand vor 28 Jahren auf diese Disc aufgenommen hat. Vielleicht sollte ich das alles irgendwie archivieren 🤔

I’m listening to Stardew & Chill the way it was meant to be heard: from a minidisc over a wire.

This gray first run Sony 60min #minidisc was the first blank offered along with the original MD recorder. It is unusual in that it is the only line of blanks with the shutter text oriented so that the shutter is on the left.

As you can see in the second pic the shutter text is oriented so the shutter is on the right.
