I recall 1997 being when every IRC-type person had mp3s and a cd burner. One was lucky to have a hard drive large enough to convert mp3s to wav files before burning. Otherwise you had to decompress "on the fly" and hope for the best. Could be done at 0.5x for higher chance of success, if I recall correctly.
- jasonwatkinspdx 6y agoI remember when the first burners came out that were capable of automatically resyncing and restarting after an error. I've forgotten the brand now, but there was one company that shipped it first, and instantly everyone in the LAN party scene bought it. Ricoh maybe? Burning anything was such a pain before that. Even if you took every precaution in the world, you couldn't stop a big truck from driving by and turning your burn into a coaster.
