I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to some great audio content in Gemini space. (Of course I'm a fan of audio content on Gemini!)

I like to think that I have good taste in music. I might even be a little snobbish, and I should preface this by saying that I'm not like a lo-fi afficionado or anything. I tend to listen to music that's a bit more "busy" or actively engaging, but I can appreciate ambient music. I personally find it very relaxing, which is obviously the point. Therefore, I'd rate Konpeito's ouput very highly and would encourage others to listen.

A while back I remember seeing downloadable mix-tapes on Gopher somewhere, and I'm glad to see this come to Gemini. It seems a perfect fit, culture-wise.

If you are using Diohsc, the quickest way to download Konpeito media is to provide a list of links to the "save" command, so first go to konpeito.media and then issue a command like:

`5,10,15,20,25,30,35 save`

Lucky thing is that (for now) the links to the .zip archives are all 5 links apart. The above command will simply download them all in sequence. You can also add a target directory to the command to change where the files go. You can also refactor the command to grab just the individual files you want, like if you prefer the B-sides (which I do actually).

Streaming is also an option, but they're worth saving.
