Fun fact: the MP3 file format is as old today as 8-track tapes were when MP3 was invented.
@HumanistEngineer Just think how it makes us old people feel.
@estherschindler 25 years ago I was riding in the car with a buddy and his daughter and a song came on the radio, it was Pink Floyd, and I said 'hey man I have this on LP' his daughter came up between the seats to whisper to him ' Daddy, what's an LP?'
@estherschindler as a culture we really need to re-evaluate the use of the word "fun" in the phrase "fun fact".
@estherschindler FAR. OUT. 😲
@estherschindler Yes how does it compare to QUAD 8-track cartridges?
Had just one...Song remains the same by Led Zeppelin. Sounded amazing except for those 5 second gaps as it switched to the next track
@Macparrot That particular album -- and the KERCHUNK as it switched tracks -- is my primary memory of 8-track.
No, @estherschindler. That's not a "fun fact." It's a fact that makes a lot of very young people suddenly feel old.
