Now I updated it with much more recent music I'm currently listening to.

The amazing thing is, this player also plays ogg files, which was not common at the time. It was the reason I bought it. I ripped all my CDs to ogg back then.

And it has a mic and a line-in to record and encode stuff. Nothing special for today's phones but amazing in 2004.

A while ago I found my old iriver mp3-player. I finally grabbed a Mini(!)-USB-Cable and checked what treasures its 512MB of memory holds.

Yeah, quite a music taste 20 years ago :D
I still like everything on it.

Interestingly, CyberSix is not available on LaserDisc, HD-DVD, HDVS, W-VHS or D-VHS but was only released on regular VHS, DVD & blu-ray.

The VHS version seems particularly obscure...

Still, it would've been very interesting to see a Hi-Vision LD with the words "サイバーシックス" on the cover.

I just found a laundry basket full of blank, original packaged #DVD discs DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, in normal size and small. It's much more than I ever need for a lifetime of #obsoletemedia. I'd give them away for free if there are some people interested at #39C3

Does anyone have any experience with "RCA Video Discs", or "Capacitance Electronic Discs (CED)"?

My mum just found an old RCA Video Disc player in storage, along with a few old movie discs. She has no use for them, so I'm wondering if there's any interest from anyone else in having them. I'm not sure if they're worth anything to folks who are into obsolete media. It seems like it was pretty pricey in its day, so it would be a shame to just throw them away.
