My new years resolution was to stock up on MD units to be set for life. Bought these two already: (my other resolution was to give up beer - but that I have failed already). Cheers Pug

Sir, Just go to this location: C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\Sony Corporation\SonicStage\Packages Back up the access database via copy and paste and all your ratings will be safe. Cheers Pug

As a long time Mindisc user I was exclusively using SP for discs. 1 disc = 1 album. I dabbled with HI-MD for around a year. I quite liked it and it was a great novelty putting tonnes of albums onto 1 disc. However once it was obvious the writing was on the wall I got out of it. I wanted to have contingency for players to access my music for the next 50 years (I do expect to use mindisc for that long!). I have returned to SP and I now have little fear of not being able to access my mindiscs for home listening. I intend to use MDLP for portable use and extended mixes, as I'm starting to fing 30gig of music a little overwhelming. I still find Sonicstage great for MDLP mixes - very quick and convenient. Even in 10 years time I will to have an old XP laptop with SS and my media library. I'm also getting to the point where less = more. Cheers Pug

I like the last tweak! First I set the URL page to google.. quite nice! Then I set the set it to D:\Music: Very cool I can now browse my music in Sonicstage via treeview. It will also darg and drop into the application to import new music etc!

Sorry, but I thought the format war with mindisc was DCC vs MD - which MD won. I don't think MD ever went head to head with CD. (Cassette perhaps) Cheers Pug

It's a testament to the format and the enthusiasts that support it. So congrats to everyone involved. Cheers Pug

I pick the package up at 1.15pm GMT so I hope to take a pick of my bag of swag later today. Cheers Pug

MZ-N10 & 150 discs - £50 Cheers Pug

ray, yeh... whatever dude... keep it to yourself... Chris, interesting article; hope its not the end - it won't be for me whatever Cheers Pug

Just my point of view but I'd rather keep it seperate. Or if it was merged at least some distinction between minidisc and Sony. I've loved mindisc.org as a great source of inpartial informtion for minidisc enthusiasts. Obviously there is a huge connection between minidisc Sony and atrac, but for me I'd hate to see it become a Sony fansite. Cheers Pug

Kick start your disc collection: Discs Cheers Pug

In my opinion we are lucky minidisc got as far as Net-MD let alone HI-MD. We are pretty fortunate that Sony has let us experience the last breath of minidisc technology and didn't confine HI-MD to a concept. I'm happy they made that last push to HI-MD and as ong as I can source blanks and units I'm happy. Cheers Pug

Einolu? Wow he is a blast from the past, both him and mystyler were big old Pana fans and I can see why! Very happpy with my purchase, the troule is I'm now keeping my eye's peeled for other cyber bargains. Cheers Pug

My collection of minidisc units seems to be growing and I'm considering some sort of cabinet for them. How do you store you units, in a draw, on a shelf, in a bag, on the cradle, in your jacket pocket, on the floor, next to your hi-fi, next to your PC? Cheers Pug

I don't really ever remember them being that popular so I've always been used to them being the slightly ecentric choice. I think minidisc is dead in the water (in the UK at least) the wider general public think it was discontinued years ago. VHS is going the same way. The debate on the death of midisc has been running for almost as long as I have been using the format. It would be interesting to get a statistic on how many HI-MD units were sold to people who has already used the format vs users new the format. I would imagine a high percentage of HI-MD sales were to existing users and the rest were to people who stumbbled into the format or were mis-sold. Cheers Pug
