After a mostly effortless data retrieval from a borderline abused 3.5” floppy (27 years old), I just found out that I can fit about half an hour of opus encoded audio on a disk. That is amazing!
@rl_dane I've got a 50MB ZIP disk somewhere around here, but no drive. I do remember checking that and the data was garbage. CD's were such a game changer for storage capacity, hard to understand if you didn't live it.

I could've sworn the storage of Zip! disks started at 100MB?
@rl_dane I think you’re right, I must have misremembered.
@daniel Wow. So, basically, it is possible to produce floppy music players? Ultra-nerdy device. It could be called FLOP (FLoppy Opus Player).
@daniel
Oh man, I remember those transparent floppies. They were the coolest!
