hi being newish to these forums i thought id better add my little bit .Being introduced to mds about 6 years ago by a freind of mine i got the md bug very quickly and had bought a couple of md recorders ( portable) in a small space of time and i thought they were absolutley great especially liking the excellent portable recording capabilities and then i got a net md version (an mzn1) and i thought wow this is brilliant on my pc, last year i went to hong kong in september and i bought myself an mznh1 ( in gold of course) and i emptied the shops shelve of the 30 himd blanks they had in stock( paying virtually nothing for either of them compared to prices over here ( which by the way are still even more than i paid back then) and when i got home and plugged it in to my pc it was like the jump that 8-track cassette was to cd , it was like another level of music had been born and as an extra you could use it as a removable disc for storing files from youre pc ( which i have done on a few occasions after recording a cd from my freind who also had a himd and the putting on the scanned disc cover as a pc file aswell as the music on the same disc ( which by the way i dont think any other typ of removable media can do) . another thing that i think sony has only just released which i think is far overdue is a backup for youre digi camera memory catds onto himds cos you name me any 1 gb memory that costs you a fiver ( NON), so as for removable media prices nothing even comes near which i see sony have only just got a camera-himd combo out and unless they get going on this concept very quickly they will miss out on a very very great chance for themselves. One last point i have a freind who is a proffesional sound engineers who does concerts and shows for very major artists and actors ( he does pantos and travelling shows etc, etc) and they use mds because as he says they are the only digital recordable media that is removable and is of a universal format and if these go people like him and as far as i understand from him a lot or the radio stations will be lost without it, anyway i will be carrying on as much as all my setup will let me untill it packs up cos i have my himd in my car aswell as a multi md in there aswell and i will be most upset the day i cant use it anymore. LONG LIVE MINIDISCS.
