lol! It has been a hobby for a while now - I was sad DCC died a death - I always thought it had more going for it than Minidisc.

Now THAT was a short-lived format.

Not much of a catalog either.

DCC - crappo, a philips disaster

mini disc - sony's folly, pure crudde


cd - after 25 years its acceptable, just acceptable


dvd-a - dead as a dodo


sacd - waste of time


8 track - immense quality in a decent 70's musclecar :wink:


compact cassette- i miss its uselessness



VINYL....will outlive all other formats :D

Awe! Come and listen to my Naks ;-) They're lovely machines - I still play them for a special treat....

(I agree with you about vinyl though - the format of the future - even if there is an apocalypse)
