it would be so great to have exact replicas of the cover packaging as best as possible

and I have some normal cds where the back is the front (bloody japan)
2009-01-09 00940, 2009
nikki
they even open backwards

i lost all my CDs (around 400 or so) through an incident a few years ago
2009-01-09 00902, 2009
Milosz
and i just really want them all back

i have big parts of the music back but i had so many memories connected to the physical thing
2009-01-09 00952, 2009
Milosz
but this brought me to the idea that when you have music on your computer and *don't* actually have a physical copy
2009-01-09 00902, 2009
Milosz
it's just that i find it's hard to relate to only the files
2009-01-09 00906, 2009
Milosz
;)
2009-01-09 00920, 2009
Milosz
so i'm going to try to create something people can actually relate to even if it's only on the computer
2009-01-09 00930, 2009
Milosz
the "make it look like a CD" thing is just a start
2009-01-09 00937, 2009
nikki nods

I totally understand the idea behind making it look like a cd, it's just that all the ones I've seen so far make assumptions that don't work for most of my stuff so it just looks silly and even worse than the cover art on its own
2009-01-09 00940, 2009
Milosz
nikki, well you benignly pointed out all the problems which i'm going to remember and take into account!
2009-01-09 00946, 2009

somewhere I have a diagram of parts of packaging from when I wanted to scan all the bits and label them consistently... wonder where I put it
2009-01-09 00953, 2009
jcazevedo has quit
2009-01-09 00958, 2009
Milosz
just have to start somewhere first...
2009-01-09 00912, 2009
nikki
it would be soooo cool if something could take a set of pictures like that and construct the packaging
2009-01-09 00937, 2009
Milosz
yeah if people could provide their own images then i guess it could
2009-01-09 00953, 2009
Milosz
i'll just make notes about this all so i remember when i start coding it
2009-01-09 00958, 2009
nikki
hehe :)
2009-01-09 00905, 2009
nikki
my idea of constructing it is probably too far fetched 'cause we don't have any easy way to access loads of scans like that
2009-01-09 00915, 2009
nikki
bah, now I want a scanner
2009-01-09 00942, 2009
Milosz
oh yeah a scanner... i should get one
2009-01-09 00919, 2009
Milosz
just a tad cautious about Linux+scanning but that can't be helped ^^
nikki, do you know why exactly Picard takes so long to load albums now?

nope :/
2009-01-09 00940, 2009
Milosz
well it's just strange, i can't make sense of it no way i think about it
2009-01-09 00956, 2009
Milosz
great everyone is selling spring wear already
2009-01-09 00940, 2009

the guys from Songbird asking me again whether i want to code for them
2009-01-09 00943, 2009
Milosz
walking the thin line between wanting to stick it to them and not telling too much
2009-01-09 00947, 2009
Milosz
lol

<pvh> Milosz: hey, you're around. any progress?
2009-01-09 00910, 2009
Milosz
<pvh> Milosz: but i still say it sucks less than writing your own media player from scratch. i admit i may be wrong about that, but i think it's probably true.
2009-01-09 00912, 2009
Milosz
blah blah
2009-01-09 00916, 2009

like I don't have *anything* yet
2009-01-09 00941, 2009
Milosz
maybe if they hire me for real I'll code them something
