Personally, I think #SlotMusic is okay and #SlotRadio is gimmicky, but apparently #Techmoan likes it because it's a way to #discover new #music and #artists...

  • It's a shame the latter one is hamfisted with the limitation of no ability to freely choose tracks and/or skipping back.

But then again, 500-1.000 popular tracks for like $40 MSRP (or 4-8¢/track) is a bargain and had they not kneecapped it with #DRM and the limitations, it would've been "cheaper and more convenient than using #BitTorrent"...

Continued thread

But as #Techmoan showed, the idea of a "disposable rental" even existed with #VHS, and whilst #2View got literally #hacked by #clippy at least it's not complete #eWaste as people end up with a #reuseable 140min #Tape after it with allegedly just a little markup compared to a #rental and cheaper than buying a blank tape & renting a movie...

#Techmoan posted a video today about another strange format, this time discussing bird records. the player he was using was quite deadish shall we say, and it looped this portion of audio over and over again. He said 'someone should make a beat out of it' so I did just that. More fun with #Ableton #Note because why not?
