RFID Music Player

Posted by timothy on from the reuse dept.

Well, it turns out that we don't need to take out our tinfoil hats this time, because it turns out that are some constructive uses for the same RFID tags that we have all come to loathe. Since RFID tags can hold 1 kilobyte of data, somebody who goes by dividuum found that (s)he could use the tags combined with a reader to store and play back music. Dividuum used SID files- the same format used on Commodore 64s- and programmed everything in C. Pictures of the RFID device are available here."

    At least they credit someone named "Dividuum" rather than calling him "RFID software guy".

    The singing bass is just a technology too. Some things deserved to be loathed.
