We’ll find it now.
SEAL AND FILL
Actually, the first solution has been known for a long time - his name is a changer. I stuffed a dozen disks into such a box and use it for health - the control is carried out directly from the head unit in virtual mode, as the changer itself is hiding somewhere far away - even in the trunk. By the way, he has one distinguishing feature, which is often forgotten - but in vain. Unlike capricious head units, the changer has a rather “oak” (in a good sense) design, not squeezed by the same size - you won’t scare it with shaking, but it can work while standing, lying down, sitting, etc. That is why the owners of motorcycles and boats love it so much - you go at full speed through the wave … hit!.. and - nothing: the orchestra does not "jump" to the first chords.
Of course, with the advent of MP3 and similar recording formats, the popularity of changers was supposed to decrease. Well, why do I need this “chest with music”, when now ten times more gets on one disc “em-pe-three” than on a regular “si-di”? The capacity of a blank disc of 650 megabytes is about 1 hour of sounding a “regular” disc or 10 hours of recording in MP3 format. Of course, the sound quality is called controllable - and rightly so: the more they “shoved” it into its previous dimensions, the more sorry it will sound worse. So it is, but the paradox is that the vast majority of listeners do not feel any difference. And if, instead of music, you want to listen, for example, “Masters and Margarita” performed by Samoilov, then there are even more advantages: the novel fits on only one disc - in time it is about 16 hours …
So what is death to the changers? In no case - they have long been rebuilt for our increased needs and began to "swallow" almost any discs - both MP3 and DVD. Ten disks inside, and on each of them - ten times more information: in total a lot is obtained. What, in fact, sought …
And if you still don’t like MP3? Then we switch to DVD - a blank of the usual size will give us about two hours of excellent sound. But if we set ourselves the task of generally getting away from all sorts of removable media, then the solution should be cardinal. In particular, you can remember … about magnetic recording!
Yes, the spiral of evolution made another round - it turned out that hard magnetic disks, equipped with numerous magnetic heads and bathing in inert gases, also feel comfortable in the head units. Ten gigabytes of memory is the norm for them: you can write a whole bunch of MP3 discs or, say, a radio program there. You can still use flash cards: a gigabyte card has long been a reality. And the giants of the musical spirit will immediately drag their “handheld” into the car and begin to transfer information from one computer to another. The same can be done with new-fangled players like iPod - you connect through a special adapter to the input of the “head” and record in it that “music” that was gathered on the Internet last night …
PIRATES OF THE XXI CENTURY
“Enough fakes, down with the surrogate - your last hour is coming, pirate!” Roughly such amused slogans greet visitors to major musical collapses like Moscow's Gorbushka. Everyone is happy - sellers, buyers, and auditors. What disk do you need, man? These - 300 each: license! And these - 100-150: pirated. Any questions?
