CDs not done yet. New type of disc in development that can store several terabytes

bytch ass companies who want people to be eternal renters will hate on this, but governments should be investing in hard storage options. A lot of data can be preserved and stored away. Movie studios need this too so they can have extra copies of their films stored away.

Inside the Intense Engineering Arms Race That Started a Music Revolution​

How two tech masterminds clashed—and ultimately collaborated—to make audio portable for the people.

BY POPULAR MECHANICS EDITORSPUBLISHED: MAY 30, 2024 2:52 PM EDT

When the compact disc hit America in the 1980s, it changed how we listened to music on the go. But long before the CD’s major mainstream moment, two huge tech companies battled back and forth for decades—and eventually joined forces—to make waves in the growing personal audio market: Sony and Philips.

On Sunday June 2, Andrew Daniels, PopMech’s Director of News, will help tell the story of the surprising rivalry that powered our portable music revolution, from the transistor radio to the Walkman, on The HISTORY Channel series The Mega-Brands That Built America.

Watch Daniels dive deep into the history of mobile music, featuring two titans who played pivotal roles: Lou Ottens, the engineering whiz at the Dutch electronics company Philips (he developed the compact cassette tape), and Norio Ogha, his counterpart and future president at the Japanese conglomerate Sony (he was responsible for the Walkman).
How did their innovations bring out the best in each other and ultimately transform our music listening habits? Tune in to find out.
“Music on the Move,” the fifth episode of this season’s The Mega-Brands That Built America, airs on The HISTORY Channel on June 2 at 9 p.m. ET. Watch it live or stream the next day.

That's dope but I'm good.

You could store a civilisation worth of information on one disc. That's crazy.

 

[Umoja]

I doubt companies will see this as serious competition.

People don't stream because of limits on data. They stream out of convenience.
