Tech culture is around 10 years late here in India. So I can say I have worked with above tools. But CD Roms are now thing of past. Pen Drives, HDD and SDD are now tool of the game now.

The good old days of getting music from IRC or MP3 download websites found with Altavista.com

Just to play them back with WinPlay3 on a computer that used 100% CPU just to play back a file and dropped audio frames anyway.

Older actually. My first portable music format was 8track

1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!

Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...

Punk kids. Back in my day we had Tandy and Applesoft BASIC. We had line numbers and it fucking hurt when they took that away with goddamn function declarations.

I remember my old car stereo that would run mp3 files off of a CD, shit was so tight! Didn't need to transcribe the music as audio tracks so you could fit so much more Linkin Park tracks on a CD than ever before, god those were the days

My first computer ran on 5 1/4" floppy disks.

[–] AlienContact2049@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago
