DJ Sundog - from the toot-lab on Nostr: listening to a tape, or a cd, or any other form of physically instantiated recording, ...
listening to a tape, or a cd, or any other form of physically instantiated recording, is intentional. it carries with it your intent to listen to the specific work you've physically placed in the player.
it hits differently than searching a streaming service for something to listen to. it brings with it the strongest and the weakest moments of the art you've decided to spend time with.
no one would say "I made you a mix tape" after asking a computer program to select a bunch of music based on heuristics and past signalling. the intent of the creator and the intent of the listener both come into play.
(this toot is about the fediverse.)
