big thanks guys... any advice as to where to get a Hi-MD when they are released in the US? I am thinking minidisco... is there any place that is better?

Hi. First time poster, long time MiniDisc afficionado. Anyhow, I am curious as to if the Simple Burner/Nero trick that involves mounting a virtual CD from a CD image will still work with Hi-MD and if it will allow burning of the tracks/virtual CD at Hi-SP or Hi-LP modes? This is important because most of my music right now is encoded in FLAC files and then put into Matroska containers with album art, cue sheets, etc., and there's no way that anything (save foobar2000) will work with this (somewhat arcane) file format. Luckily with foobar2000 I can create nero CD images on the fly from _any_ track in _any_ format (via the CD burning plugin... I just have to set it to write an image instead of the actual CD). Anyway I will stop confusing everyone for now. Depending on the answer I will have to either get a Hi-MD unit or a CD-based MP3 player (or DVD based if they exist...) For now, I'll stick to the good ol' fashioned 1x "burning" of my Sharp MD-SR60 via optical out on my soundcard.
