Comment on We put the new pocket-size vinyl format to the test—with mixed results

There was a similar product someone got me as a gift a couple years ago. A subscription to vinyl postcards. I couldnt play them.
The problem wasn’t that they were low quality. It was that they were too small. My turntable has automatic shutoff, where it lifts the tone arm off the record and swings it back out when the tone arm gets too close to the center. Considering how small these mini vinyls are, I suspect they will have the same problem and be unplayable on my turntable.

Using a format that's unplayable by current turntables is dumb and doomed to fail.
Unless they're planning to sell an exclusive player for their format, which is dumb and doomed to fail.
