Over the past year I’ve been getting back into #minidisc. It's the best #music format! (sorry #vinyl lovers and #cassette heads)
It started with picking up a portable player / recorder in a fit of nostalgia, and more recently I added a stereo unit which I'm really loving.
I’ve built up a collection of discs and jewel cases, and I’ve been really enjoying using #photopea and a template on bandcds.co.uk to make professional-looking jewel case covers.
To make it a little easier I came up with a Minidisc J-Card Creator webapp: https://mdcover.batgranny.fyi You can search for an album and have it automatically populate the artist name, album title, cover art, and tracklist. The cover image is scalable and you can also adjust the font size and padding for the tracklist and spine text.
I mostly made it for myself but I'm sure others might get some use out of it. I'm not a developer so it's probably riddled with bugs but it makes what can be a fiddly job, a little easier.
