I should make a portable mp3 player that only plays them off floppy disks.I mean, technically that already exists (at least twice) but nothing that uses MP3s

@julie oh that'd be fun. I'd have to destroy a Mavica to make it though, and I don't know if I could handle that, emotionally. They're my favorite brand of camera!

@Spikyyn yeah there's a whole mini-industry of putting mp3s on floppies, that's not the hard part:https://www.theverge.com/24034551/floppy-disk-music-scene-underground-diy

@ann3nova oh yeah they're nice. I've got one. I never considered it but it wouldn't be too hard to convert it to run off batteries, I'm sure!

@ilmari yeah. I regularly plug USB floppy drives into things to see if they'll support floppy disks

@mathaetaes I don't do things (like make a floppy-based mp3 player) because they make sense, I do them because they're awesome
