In this video update I fill you in on the situation and other stuff.

I have a portable Sony Minidisc player and a disc or two (they have music on them) I could try to dig out and test if you need to borrow them for your video.

2024-11-12 06:47:20 +0000 UTCI remember being excited to learn my CD player could do .mp3 CDs. It could only navigate the root directory. I even crunched down the quality of a bunch of my music to 128kbps to try to fit more music on a CD-R.

2024-10-07 23:15:26 +0000 UTCAlec - video idea: The science of ovens. There's surprisingly little digestible info on this. Some questions I have: 1. Do ovens cook by making the air hot to heat the food or do the walls/floor/roof of the oven radiate heat to the food? Which one is more important? 2. Some ovens have heating elements in the side walls and back of the oven, not just below. Much better for baking some things, worse for getting a good crust on pizza. 3. What effect does opening the door have? Why? If opening the door to put the food in lets all the hot air out, why does it not seem to matter for the cooking time? 4. Why are the insides always painted black? To radiate heat better? 5. Is there any difference between electric and gas? 6. Convection ovens - how does it heat the food faster? Disturbing the insulating layer of air around the food, or by blowing hot air onto the food? Or both? 7. Does a gas broiler heat the food directly from the flames, or do the flames heat the roof which then radiates heat to the food? 8. Some pizza ovens use big bricks to hold a lot of heat. Anything interesting about how that works? 9. Baking stones make food cook more evenly if you put food on them and put them into the oven when cold. No burnt bottoms on buns, biscuits, cookies, etc. 10. Do "air bake" pans (steel pans made with 2 layers with a gap between them) actually work? Mine don't seem to do that much.

2024-10-04 19:09:44 +0000 UTCMP3 CD playback was a standard feature of the head unit in my 2009 Honda Fit. An MP3 CD was inserted into that head unit shortly after purchasing the vehicle. I don't think it has ever been removed after being put in. It is still in use today. It may have come from the 2007 Honda Fit that preceded it, IDK. We don't talk about the 2007 Honda Fit. <_<

2024-10-04 03:32:22 +0000 UTCI remember being so disappointed to learn my boombox couldn't play the CD I made, but my portable CD player could! I was confused by the "why" for a long time cause I was a kid.

2024-09-30 01:25:22 +0000 UTCYes, I had installed a head unit in my car in the very early 2000s that could play MP3 CDs … but let’s ask the important questions here - where can one procure the treasure chest nixie clock on the shelf that I’ve never noticed before??

2024-09-28 17:11:03 +0000 UTCI’ve never considered my toaster oven and air fryer as competitive. I do want an air fryer with more power, 1.5kW is not nearly enough. Of course I’m cooking for at least 4 people, and two of them are teenagers.

2024-09-28 00:32:23 +0000 UTCI bought like the first one you could in 1998 I think. It was huge and needed 4 AAs. It worked great ish ... Kinda, OK it was new tech made by no one you ever heard of and worked fine enough. Until it didn't, the it was time to upgrade, to a Creative USB MP3 player.
Yoshi of the Wire
2024-09-27 23:09:28 +0000 UTCI like the idea of this, but only if you remotely view the set first in case a racoon or other vermin broke in and trashed the place, or some other natural or unnatural disaster took place.

2024-09-27 22:01:37 +0000 UTCA fun fact about MP3 CD compatibility: it was also a HUGE selling point for some professional DJ gear! Before laptops were reliable for mission-critical gigs -- and for those who just preferred standalone playback decks -- you could now custom-burn two discs with hundreds of bangers, and rock the dance floor for an entire set without ever opening your disc drives! Granted, weddings and other special occasions might have a few dedications or odd drunken requests, so you'd still want your main collection as a backup... but it beat the hell out of swapping between 20-track CDs after every single song! Of course, digital decks now have USB inputs instead of optical drives, and you can put an entire library of 40,000 songs on one $30 thumb stick. And if you don't have it there... Just jump on WiFi and stream it. (Yes, there are even dedicated streaming services that have licensed music for DJs. What WON'T they take our subscription dollars for in 2024?)

2024-09-27 16:51:27 +0000 UTCOh yeah, I know what MP3 CDs are, I had a Sony Discman (well, technically they called it walkman then, but I refuse to accept that) that played MP3 CDs back, what, 20 years ago. I condensed all my radio theatre CDs down, and all my music, and had a small collection of MP3 CDs. Came in usefull for long car trips, too. I haven't thought about that for years and years.

2024-09-27 16:38:38 +0000 UTCFREEZE DRYER: We made about 4 gallons of Salsa verde with tomatillos from the garden this week, then freeze dried it into a powder. We now have salsa verde on demand, and a super delicious meat rub. Also freeze dried a ton of rosemary and sage, it preserve the flavor so much better than a dehydrator, and color too. Additionally, for reasonable uses, one of the best things weve tried recently was homemade chicken broth, freeze dried really well, and rehydrates very quickly. basically better than buillion but homemade and free as a byproduct of buying whole chickens (plus power usage)

2024-09-27 16:03:46 +0000 UTCon Air Fryers, I would love to see a cost of use comparison between a toaster over and air fryer for cooking/reheating food. I have and air fryer but wish I didnt since it takes up space and I love my toaster oven more.
Uhm Mu
2024-09-27 16:00:11 +0000 UTCI know that what an MP3 CD is, and I also used to have a car with a radio thingy that could play them. My current car may or may not be able to; I haven't tried it yet.
Martin Ibert
2024-09-27 15:44:50 +0000 UTCThis seems like a perfect case for smart outlets! Then the set can be fired up remotely in advance.

2024-09-27 13:26:57 +0000 UTCI was the proud owner of an MP3 CD player in my last year of university in 2003, for a very short window of time they were wonderful. I had a little carrying case for both the player and a bunch of discs, and although flash players existed, the cheaper ones could barely hold 64MB, so the promise of several gigs of storage on a few discs while using a relatively cheap player was just perfect. Then a couple of years later I got the only Apple product I've ever bought: the iPod 5, with 60GB storage on what was a glorified laptop hard disk, and the MP3 CD was already obsolete. I'd never be able to carry 100 discs, and having my entire music collection on a single device was obviously even better. Of course now you don't even need a music collection...

2024-09-27 08:44:35 +0000 UTCAs a Lava Lamp haver, I appreciate that you have to get those Lava Lamps going right away when you arrive. I always think about that when I watch your videos.
Amy Tobol
2024-09-27 08:01:47 +0000 UTCIndeed MP3 CDs were awesome! I had a Sony CD Walkman that did MP3 CDs, and I also had an MP3 CD changer in my car (I think the Alpine CHA-S634). In the early 2000's I could load up 6 CDs each with 700MB of MP3s for about 70 hours of music in the car.

2024-09-27 04:48:25 +0000 UTCQuite a number of those sorts of devices couldn't play VBR MP3s, and some even had bitrate limitations on what they would play (like 128/192/256kbps only). Fun times.

2024-09-27 04:48:09 +0000 UTCI had a Sony D-CJ01 Discman in college (2003ish). I remember Electronics lab and everyone was cool with my music selection so we had a pair of computer speakers in the lab that we'd use. My Electronics professor was so amazed at how it'd spin up, buffer some of the file, and spin back down. That was the class wherein my project was a $30,000 cat door controlled by PC. Fun times....

Earl Plotner
2024-09-27 03:27:28 +0000 UTCTurns out ATRAC on MiniDisc was another time where Sony was earlier to the market with a good idea, but their tech lost out. I have to mention TechMoan's videos on ATRAC and (many many) videos on MiniDisc, but I'd imagine this crowd is aware of them.

2024-09-27 02:45:32 +0000 UTCThe milk would probably benefit from some additional emulsifier like those powdered egg whites (or xanthan gum) being mixed in before rehydration.

2024-09-27 01:39:29 +0000 UTCConsidering 500 songs on 650MB I'm gonna say it probably sounded like crap haha
Johnathan Chamberlain
2024-09-27 01:31:24 +0000 UTCOh, this Walkman can play them! But ATRAC is getting mentioned via a very 2004 joke. (and fwiw - you can do the same with MP3s! Whether ATRAC was actually better-sounding per bitrate I don't know, but that's a recipe for audiophile debates)
Technology Connections
2024-09-27 01:30:21 +0000 UTCTake a look at Sony's ATRAC technology -- It could hold HUNDREDS of songs on a single CD. Here's an old listing on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-D-NE320PSBLK-ATRAC-Walkman-Black/dp/B0007P4G4Y?th=1
