@lyse Oh boy, that band *still exists*! 😅 I think some of the first MP3s I ever had in the 1990ies were from them … Short samples from their website … I wonder if I still have them.

@lyse This is one of the files:

https://movq.de/v/5918f06a81/JACOBI%7E1.MP3

You can tell the age by the filename. 🤣 This file was stored on an LS120 disk for a while around 1997, then copied to a CD-R, then finally from there to my NAS in 2016.

@movq Yes! I actually see them tomorrow at the Metfest together with three other great bands. That's gonna be awesome. I'm super hyped for Feuerschwanz, Fiddler's Green and Grailknights. I've also seen Warkings once before live and they did not disappoint either.

Haha, great story! I don't remember what my first MP3s were. Maybe some punk rock stuff? Interesting, I never heard of SuperDisk before. Do you still listen to that old file every now and then or do just keep it around for sentimental value?

> I never heard of SuperDisk before

IIRC, one of the great features about this drive was that it could read ordinary floppy disks as well – unlike the Iomega ZIP drive. Also, even though that Wikipedia article only shows *external* drives, we had *internal* LS120 drives. So, unlike the ZIP drive, the LS120 really was a backwards compatible thing and you could use it just like a normal floppy disk drive. (Plus, at 120 MB, it was a little larger than ZIP at 100 MB.)

For a very brief moment, it looked like LS120 was the new “standard”. 😅 IIRC, they even put them in pre-assembled PCs that you could buy in shops (anyone remember “Vobis”?). It quickly became irrelevant, though, since CD-RWs offered a much larger capacity soon after …

> Do you still listen to that old file every now and then or do just keep it around for sentimental value?

Nah, it’s just one of the many old files that I still have lying around. 😅 (I don’t really listen to that kind of music anymore, tbh.)

@movq Ah! I started with 3.5 inch floppy disks, used them for a long time and then went straight to CD-ROM. I remember buying one of the last floppies available in town when basically nobody else wanted them anymore. Except me. :-D I put some of my Delphi projects on them and gave them to class mates.
