@tkissing example of a full path

however, the player would use ID3 tags anyway

Not going to watch the STFU speech today. Or was it the GTFO? Maybe FAFO?

Remember double-sided DVDs?

@tkissing it’s in folders with cd artist and album name, the files are named with track number, track title and track artist

@Lippe I tried a few applications, this is on windows and EAC appears to work great, especially if there’s scratches etc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@curtismchale yeah I’m ripping to flax, great for Plexamp but can also make compressed or ALAC copies for my iPod

@thijs lol

ripping CDs mainly because I find it soothing

this one is almost 40 years old!

@ij you can’t really use data center stuff for personal computing (except maybe for some turbo-nerds); and it will take a while for production of parts to ramp up again

@foolishowl line goes up

@txtx used computers and phones will massively increase in price as well as supply dries up

@sara they will still need computers for designing them, making them, shipping them and selling them so idk

If you think you need a new computer anytime in the next 3–5 years you probably should buy one right now.

I don’t think people understand how bad this is going to get.
