Why am I not supriced about that news? Is it because the large economy loss Sony had made this year? Yes it`s because of that. Sony have trouble with some of their products, incl. MD so I´m not supriced, but I think it sad, the MD format is something I like very much, sounds very good, are very easy to make good recordings and you can store all the music in discs, something you can`t do with Mp3-players on a cheap way. I hope I can buy discs some more years so I can continue recording music without buying a DVD-burner or use the computer, who are not so good recorders as the HiMD I have.
