@movq@www.uninformativ.de Is that really happening with your original CDs/disks?
I thought the lifespan was decades 😮 is it perhaps a matter of humidity?

I threw away all my CDs and DVDs so I don’t have that problem anymore, but I wonder what would happen with my grandpa’s discs. And yeah, moving home with physical media, music 💿, books 📚, magazines 📜, is troublesome.

I leave a few links on the topic, if anyone is interested

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, thanks!

I’m aware that those cheap devices FM have awful quality and low range.
I’m thinking of something like: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/05B-Transmisor-estaci%C3%B3n-0-138-supermercado/dp/B0B251XK2R/

But I’m seeing bad reviews, on a lot of static and bad audio quality. And again, now Bluetooth has much better quality than FM can give, so it’s more for nostalgic purposes, like LoFi music, artificially adding noise.

For DVDs, damn, we’ll need to make backups, especially for content hard to find again Who would think?
