Seems like an excuse to play with NFC tags. These types of articles come off as sanctimonious. There is nothing superior about the cards. On a phone or computer you can get complete liner notes for any song. All of that is missing from this system. You don't need to justify working on a pet project. Just do it. It doesn't have to be "superior". It's ok if it's dumb.

I was surprised to see nothing about liner notes, lyrics, or other info that could have been added to these cards. Especially with the aspect ratio issue! Seems like almost anything would be a better use of that valuable space than AI hallucinations.

I want to make the cards richer in phase 2 (track listings on the back, at least).

Thanks for your vapid and misguided feedback, Doug Durham. I hope you find joy somewhere.

Clearly tons of people like this project. You don’t have to respond to the naysayers.

thank you

Thank you for your wonderfully misguided attack on me. Is naming me supposed to be intimidating? I made a comment on the material features of the project and not the creator. I hope you find joy. I recommend you spend some time outdoors and learn to appreciate the beauty in life. Foster a life of gratitude.

It is a bit of a humblebrag, like many parenting articles, but it's nice that he made something for his kid even if it basically an effort to pass on his own musical taste rather than investigate what cool new things are happening below the marketing radar of today's industry. I do wonder if it might not have been more involving to just get hold of an old record/cassette player and take the kid to the nearest used music store, but hey.
