I love stuff like this. 

 

Can't believe he didn't go with the superior Beta over VHS.

 

Or LaserDisc...

Sadly I am still holding on to so many MD equipment.  

Nothing like having to flip a laser disc in the middle of a flick...winning

^ Technology!

Yeah, I still have my 8-Track player, will have to get this.....hope it doesn't cut off songs between tracks.

 

I still remember Pink Floyd - Animals on 8-track.  Several LONG songs, and what do they cut via fade-out and -in?  Pigs On The Wing, the SHORTEST fucking song on the album....

 

I've been waiting all these years for 8-track redemption, now it appears it is coming.

 

 

 

 

And, no, I won't get this in any of the F O R M A T's 

Have 8-tracks gone out of style already?

Just the pre-MQA ones.

LMAO....I was clearly behind the times.  Next you'll tell me my '72 Honda CB550 comes in an automatic....

Did someone say "mini disk"?

I've got all those formats covered except for the mini cd and the 8 track.

 

What, no mono!

My minidisc (college) and 8-track (dad's) rigs went up in the fire a few years ago. Ahhh, the good ol' days.

I do have about 50 laserdiscs (including a lot of Criterion stuff), now I just need a player and "RAD" on laserdisc... Then things will be complete.

**BRENT**

Sorry, no laserdisc player Brent, but if you have any minidisc's that you'd like to hear again, I'd be happy to transfer them to files or burn them to cdr for you.

I have a laserdisc player in my basement.  No idea if it still works, it's been down there for 8 years.  And the "Han Shoots First" Star Wars laserdisc...

eBay to the rescue: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Laserdisc-Players-/3317/i.html?_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_pcats=175740%2C14998%2C293

Huh. And I had just decided on FLAC this morning...

Any special software/hardware required?  I have several MDs that would love to have archived as well.

Nothing needed but a working MD player and a computer with Sony's MD app installed (I think that Mac's have to have Rosetta). I have an old MacBook that's running Snow Leopard for just this kind of thing.

PM me if you're interested.

When Metallica jumps on the bandwagon is the trend already over?

Boris Blank released Electrified last year with the ultimate super deluxe package containing a variety of formats, but mostly more current:  CD, DVD, cassette...
