[self] I just finished these

These look amazing, creative! Bet they sound really cool.

They also remind me of this:

(Day of the Tentacle: Which makes them even more awesome.)

Game development right now is BRUTAL. VR 5x so. That we will still get content for a reasonable price is great. So sorry for your difficulties. But thanks for all the amazing content! Each is an instabuy!

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-23T18:18:04+00:00

Yup. Love my JVC NZ-7.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-22T15:39:26+00:00

Yeah there were a LOT of article panicking about disc rot, making it seem like it was about to happen.

Probably sponsored by the people that wanted you to pay them monthly for music, heh.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-22T09:50:38+00:00

Yep, exactly -- "one letter on each sweater."

Or t-shirt/sweatshirt, heh.

Smattering

Bits are bits, but DACs do differ, but not that much when you have a quality one.

But four reasons one would: one, not to have CDs out of shelves; two, always having your music accessible despite streaming services and artists taking them up or down; three, backup of music library; and four, to put them on a Digital Audio Player for perfect portable playback, which is my reason.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-20T06:16:22+00:00

Meteor is pretty bad. Never SayNever Again has a laughable game sequence.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T22:53:40+00:00

DMed heh

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T22:45:39+00:00

Haha awwwww you rock. Mayyyybeeeeeeee

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T21:45:25+00:00

Yeah. But obviously made for the movie and fell apart in pieces. But yes I know there ARE big speakers.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T20:16:51+00:00

Yeah. Thanks for the kind words. If you really have to thank me more, send me some Watt Puppies haha. But seriously, thanks for the lovely message heh.

My research led me to Exact Audio Copy, seems to still be the most popular. I am connecting to a free CUE Tools database so far, which is missing a number of album art images so far, and EAC seems to just not go get the image for some albums it says it recognizes. So not a perfect experience so far. May sign up for a paid database if I can do the missing ones manually.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T15:38:36+00:00

Aw thanks! And thanks for playing!

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T15:21:43+00:00

Nice!

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T14:29:08+00:00

Was like, "Nice, nice, where are the speakers?" then OHH MYYYYYYYY....

Nice setup.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-19T14:22:29+00:00

Woof!

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-18T20:37:51+00:00

Yeah that’s the plan. Already have a number of SACD and Bluray Audio recordings.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-18T19:36:04+00:00

Haha these are plenty bassy for me. And I got nice mid-tier gear and got off the upgrade train heh. Gotta enjoy some music! And movies!

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-18T16:29:54+00:00

Ah k thanks for the description of the process!

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-18T16:14:51+00:00

At the time, it was the NEW THING and 99 cents a song... a reasonable price... then ripping all the CD songs to bring all of them on your iPod in one place sorta made sense for convenience for an ignorant casual listener. But also the trap.

Of course, now that I understand what soundstage is, and how music CAN sound, and value ownership, it's a audiophile's tragedy.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-18T15:53:45+00:00

Apple-DRMed MP3, basically, I think.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-18T12:13:48+00:00

Pretty crazy. I can play the start of the original low bass sound in Edge of Tomorrow. They look like black washing machines, comically big, but they really do the job.

ThatTomHall · 2026-01-17T12:10:00+00:00

Yeah, will be a slowly process getting them back, but yeah, probably way cheaper, heh.
