That sample at 3200 bits per second is fantastic for such a low bitrate. I also love how that works out at 1.44MB/hr.. one floppy disk per hour!



Imagine a portable podcast player for fans of vintage tech.

(Won't work with music, of course.)


Books-on-floppy would work too. Like a digital version of books on tape, with about as many disk changes.


Please I wish something like that came out. Same with modern tech with cassette and minidisc. Something new but with that kind of hardware. I love the physical mediums!


A Diskman, if you will..


I still remember the times when I regularly visited my friend with 2 floppies just to get one ~4 minutes MP3 song back home.
