Was nervous to post, but its gone well on another page. I’ve started a blog documenting Amiga projects I’m working on & will keep things as simple as poss (for less technical people like me). Hope people find it interesting. I uploaded the 2nd post today. Kind constructive comments are welcome!

Flop rock: inside the underground floppy disk music scene
I'm currently working on a 2HD floppy disk release of a podcast episode which has taken me down an interesting rabbit hole of low-bitrate audio codecs, floppy disk aesthetics and label design.
The episode I'm releasing is 1h40m long, which sounds like it couldn't possibly fit in 1.44MB, but there's an obscure but free codec mostly used by digital HAM radio enthusiasts called Codec2 [1] which can encode human voice in as low as 700bit/s (roughly 315KB/hr). At that quality setting it sounds like complete garbage, although still barely intelligible, and there are no readily available media players for the it (there's not even an established file format) so I'm having to include complicated ffmpeg instructions in a README to get people to play it, but I think it all adds to the charm.
Funnily enough after searching for days for how to fit the original episode in a floppy (tried low-bitrate MP3, Opus and AAC, all of which fail at the task), and after discovering Codec2 almost by chance, I only then came across an article called "Codec2: a whole Podcast on a Floppy Disk" [2] which I probably would've found if I had started by searching "podcast in a floppy".

Using AI to compress audio files for quick and easy sharing
1.5 kbps speech is impressive, I wonder how it compares with Codec2 https://github.com/drowe67/codec2

can Lora handle low quality voice?
You have a chance with codec2, but I wouldn't expect it to handle any real-time communication. This codec only works for voice, for anything else it's trash.

Low bandwidth mode for Signal?
You also got some samples available at http://www.rowetel.com/codec2.html
- How to convert audio to codec2?
- I created a floppy disk VCR that plays full length films (like garbage) with the help of a Pi and a custom x265 codec. I call it the LimaTek Diskmaster
What are some alternatives?
