   dumb question: what's that wheel inside called? is that the normal single format?

     @kaia a cursory search reveals that there are different size vynils, the one you usually see around is the 12” one which does have a plastic disc in the middle for the label so you’re only left with enough space for the axis that rotates the vynil

     smaller sizes have less room for music (i presume becuase it’s to give you exactly 45 min or whatever worth of recording?) so they probably had the tripod thingie to fit the same bill as the plastic disc in the bigger one (as they are all meant to be played in the same machine)

     > Each record size, be it the 33, 45, or 78 RPM, has its unique characteristics and advantages. The 33 RPM, for instance, offers long play, making it ideal for albums. The 45 RPM, with its shorter playtime, is perfect for singles, while the 78 RPM, being the oldest of the bunch, has a charm that appeals to vintage collectors. Sound quality can vary, with many arguing that the 45 RPM disc offers the best audio experience due to its wider grooves.

     @kaia The big hole was standard for 7“ records. This „wheel“ is an adaptor (sorry, but I don’t know a better name) to fit the standard pin size. You could buy adapters in bulk and put them in your 45s, so you don’t have to find the puck that usually came with the turntable, but could get lost.

     @kaia @schappi i have some 45rpm discs that have the large hole, maybe it was just a different form factor

     Yep, they are pretty standard, there is a Wikipedia article about these things even: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45_rpm_adapter
