So even though I was able export my audiobooks by chapter, the Echo mini doesn’t display the chapters in order. Frustrating. Files are named starting with 01, 02, 03 etc. but the Echo does want to show them in order. Hmm. Anyone know the trick, before hours of trial and error and me going down a rabbit hole? #asknostr #audio #mp3 #flac

Nagra SNST, a miniature reel-to-reel audio recorder optimized for #surveillance applications, circa 1977.

Slightly larger than two iPods, the mechanism runs virtually silently for six hours on two AA batteries, and can record about two hours of voice-grade stereo audio on each 2.75 inch reel of 1/8 inch wide tape. The device is operated with a single switch, with recording or playback selected depending on whether a microphone is attached. Rewind is via a retractable hand crank (the "T" shape between the two reels). A separate amplifier/speaker post-processor (not shown), called the "SNST-DSP" (an anachronistic misnomer, since it's not digital), filters and EQs the recorded audio for high-intelligibility playback. The first models date to 1962, with other versions of the SN-series recorder optimized for music and film applications (with features such as faster tape speed, higher fidelity, and full-track mono). This sample was bought surplus from a state police agency. It came with a tape, dated from 1996, of a "wired" confidential informant being sent to purchase drugs. #nagra #snst #audio

I had no idea MP3/MP4 players were still being made and sold. #TIL #audio
