Making something that can fit on a floppy disc is pretty cool restriction to give yourself imo.
Do you just cripple the bitrate to squeeze a 3+ minute song on, do you stick to super short songs or do you find alternate means of maximising the space (I'm thinking potentially a mixture of midi files with some guidelines, and super low encoded vocals)
Floppy discs are much more aesthetically pleasing than cassettes (although maybe not cassette boxes) as a decorative thing imo too.
- Paul_S 8y agoI was disappointed that the floppies didn't contain mods (tracker music).
- sitkack 8y agoMaybe you should release that album you have always been thinking of, "Meta Flame", a Torch program that uses DNN to turn mp3 files into tracker files. All advanced compression schemes use the Grad Student Algorithm [1] [1] http://www.faqs.org/faqs/compression-faq/part1/section-15.html http://www.faqs.org/faqs/compression-faq/part1/section-15.ht... (search for "graduate student algorithm")
- fzzzy 8y agoI think mod releases and midi releases will probably happen eventually.

- woodrowbarlow 8y agoDiode Milliampere released an adlib tracker album, YMF262, on 3.5" floppy a few years ago. it fits about 13-14 minutes of music. i managed to score a copy, but they're sold out now. https://diodemilliampere.bandcamp.com/album/ymf262 https://diodemilliampere.bandcamp.com/album/ymf262

- rootw0rm 8y agohell yah. I still have a ton of gabber/hardcore songs in tracker format. (greetz Rotterdam)
- bane 8y agoYeah! The demoscene was releasing size restricted albums (music disks) for decades before vaporwave was even thought of as a term. Here's half a million songs: https://modarchive.org/ https://modarchive.org/
- sp332 8y agoHere's a ~2-minute music video that fits on a floppy, about 1 megabyte. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=74913 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=74913 The post has some details about how it's done. There's a YouTube link, which is good since the main download link seems to be virus-infected.
- ahoka 8y agoProbably it's just triggering your AV's heuristics by using an exe compressor.
- sp332 8y agoYeah, that's a good guess. VT doesn't detect anything https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/cd39f57162b0bd78f06111180384ec143d5789bdec690f57ad5d8747019fcd1f/detection https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/cd39f57162b0bd78f0611118038... so I don't know why Google's Safe Browsing service flagged it.
