This site is addictive, it led me to 6moons.com/audioreviews/furute

It's a CD demagnatizer. It removes magnetism from aluminum CDs.

@ricci @FritzAdalis @dan This reminds me of when I was taking music production in the early 90s and people claimed that vinyl was better than CDs because vinyl captured the frequencies over 100kHz which gives music its flavour and colour.

@gwozniak @FritzAdalis @dan The 'SSD for music' linked elsewhere in this thread actually claims that it makes your bits sound more like vinyl 🤦‍♂️

Tell that to anyone who had a CD-4 quad setup. 45 kHz audio subcarrier with 15 kHz deviation, typically half-speed mastered in order to get to that point, you needed a special Shibata stylus to get enough response at those frequencies to recover it, and it would wear right off the groove after 10 or so plays.

@ricci @FritzAdalis @dan Wow. I just had an idea. What about an NFT that contains a code (the name of the song, I guess) that you save to a file and place in the same directory as the music files, which will improve the sound quality of the music.

Imagine the profit. You'll sell an NFT per song. Then you'll have people buying the NFT from eachother because only one person at a time can own the quality-improving NFT.

Like @drwho I've come to the realisation that if I didn't have any morals, I'd be rich.

@loke @FritzAdalis @dan @drwho This is the most evilly plausible moneymaking scheme I have ever heard of. This could be huge. Like "exceeding the GDP of small countries" huge.
Perhaps this could be used for good, by having the payments for these things go directly to the artists?

@ricci @FritzAdalis @dan @drwho Yeah. Someone should do it that way, if for no other reason than to stop people from profiting from it.

This would help because id3 tags ruin the sound.

Fritz, Techmoan did a video on one of these. It was the most polite "no, this is crap and it can't possibly work because it contradicts laws of physics, you stupid" I've ever seen.
