Perhaps it was just a cost issue. While I wasn't really overly aware of the format back at introduction. I do remember a big push on pre-recorded MDs, so I guess that's where I got the impression.

I'd go back to the beginning of the format for MDs "failure" in the US at least. Sony marketed it as a CD replacement instead of a cassette replacement. Of course given what happened when DAT was introduced I wouldn't be suprised if at least part of that was to avoid pressure from the RIAA. Who were of course worried that unrestricted DAT would mean the end of music commerce as we knew it. Any way it's sad. the format should be ubiquitous... I can't wait to get an MZ-RH1 especially as my MZ-NH900 was stolen a couple days ago. java script:emoticon('', 'smid_3') The guy who took it probably won't even know what to do with it :-( Though it did have the AA pack on it. So there is hope I guess... java script:emoticon('','smid_15')

Count me in too. HI-MD: Hi-sP on a refomatted 80min, prefer international, don't care what comes back on it that's more than half the fun!!
