#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2025-12-20.0

The festive season! Where I get behind on everything. Woohoo!

Which wasn't fair on this update, which smashes out a bunch of quality of life improvements, and lots of new contributors!
And added #Jewelcase support to LB! -a

The reason we don't have #BigBoxPackaging for #Games anymore is due to #GameConsoles:

• With the rise of the #PS2 & #Xbox360, the "#DVD #JewelCase" became the norm and #EconomiesOfScale kicked in.

• Also #OnlineStores kicked off and #Retail demanded more efficient #ShelfSpace and was unwilling to accept bigger boxes than for DVDs.

It's the same reason #BluRay, #HDDVD & #HDVMD (LOL!) have almost identical packaging and why we get super cursed packaging like a 24-disc case that is barely triple-wide...

• Also packaging games in colours like green [ #Xbox ], blue/white [ #PlayStation ] red [#Nintendo], violet [Xbox 360 #Kinect], black/transparent [#Windows-#PC] made it way easier to distinguish for consumers even from a distance where they can't read the spine and identify the logo.

The renewal of my 居留證 (Alien Resident Certificate) is coming up and I need to supply a physical photo for it, so the easiest way was to get one taken at a photo shop just down the road.

They gave me the prints and a little jewel case containing a Mini CD with the file on it. I haven't seen one of these in a while! 📀

A North Texas thrift store, a music CD and a new 59-year-old JFK mystery

A man in Ferris, Texas, made an unusual discovery in perhaps one of the most unusual of places.

Also, ich habe glaube ich in den letzten Jahren mehr physische #Audio-#CD gekauft als je zuvor.

Für #Musik, die ich wirklich mag, möchte ich mehr als das volatile #Streaming und etwas greifbares haben.

Wenn die #Musikindustrie weiter dazu übergeht, CDs in billige Pappschachteln zu stopfen, weiß ich allerdings nicht, wie lange noch. Ein #Jewelcase sollte bei den Preisen ja wohl drin sein.
