I managed to revive #Hofa #ddpPlayer in #Wine.

There's #ddpTools on the command line that is easy to install on #UbuntuStudio #Linux, it is fairly easy to create a #DDP #CDimage for professional #CD manufacturing with it. For free, while other tools for doing this can be very expensive.

But there is only one native tool for Linux that allows you to check the result, which is DDP Tools itself. Doesn't make too much sense to me, because: of course the image by DDP Tools will pass the check of DDP Tools.

But what you want to avoid at any cost is something like having 1000 CDs that have some kind of error in them.

HOFA DDP Player V2 apparently is missing some font and looks rather rustic as a result.

Otherwise, it works well.

I am very disappointed to discover I cannot use the "Multimedia Extras" on the second hand #CD I bought, even though my computer is clearly "#Macintosh System OS8 or later, has 32MB of available RAM, with QuickTime 3 or later installed", plus I have the pre-requisite soundcard and CD drive.

Who do I complain to about this?!

Yesterdays #hack get: “80s tech to work with 2025 tech”

“Hack, hack, watch Jack hack”

I’ve got a stack of CDs I usually listen to in the car. Car is permanently broken. The replacement car has no CD player (#tape or #8track 🤣) so I’ll have do some tinkering.

* First get out an unused #SONY #BoomBox to play #CD s. 📻

* Second locate a #bluetooth transmitter. Check bluetooth standard is BT 5.0 compatible.

* Third, find USB-A to USB-C power for the XMitter

* Four, power supply for boombox, C6.

* Five find a 3.5mm AUX cable to connect to XMitter.

* Six and dodgiest, PAIR bluetooth from boombox XMitter to car.

Now I can run the car audio without #streaming #shite music 🔊, not have to mess around with BS phone issues. ☺️

Early Thin Lizzy before they locked into their iconic dual-guitar sound. A raw, reflective glimpse at the band's roots—Phil Lynott’s talent already shining through.

The DECCA vinyl record label.
This release came in a nice gatefold sleeve as well as a polylined inner. The record was very clean and the sound is perfect.
