Ok, I had a look with the search, maybe not very well. How comes nobody uses minidisks as a handy-dandy little datastorage device? I was sure I read there was some kind of problem with data on a minidisk? anyone?
IIRC the limit to data storage on a md was ~100mb or something like that, which is why no one bothered with them
I thought it more because they were slow. They were used in some cameras / camcorders for a while, though.
The new hi-md's from sony have a 1GB storage.... they can expand the old discs to 300mb as well.. Its great... plug the recorder in and its seen as removable storage, just drag and drop and your away.. Discs are well cheap too only problem is you need the HI recorders it doesnt work with the older net-md's...
Hi MD's are way better than ipod mini's and other small disc based music players, better battery life, stupidly cheap storage. Awsome!
My godfather whos a AV nut told me he got a netMD and it holds 1gig of data or can do a half data an half audio type of disk but he said that the disks r getting cheeper an he was saying that sony might bring out a bigger capacity disk(3gig) but im not bothered coz i got my mini.
The MD's rule tbh... you get unlimited storage, the atrac compression aint bad either, got ~ 40 hours on 1 disc, and its as good as mp3 192k easy... 3 gig discs eh, they gonna be compatible with the current players?
Are there any NetMD's that can cope with non-atrac files? i.e. .ogg? I've been looking into portable music for ages now, but an i-River is an expensive machine for .ogg playing and quality, especially NetMD's are pretty cheap and decent imo, as well as being smaller than most HD-based music players, but meh needs .ogg...
Not idea, they have some ghay soft that converts everything to atrac anyways... I'll grab and ogg and test if you want?
