KJ_Palmer Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Hmmm, would have been nice about a year ago, in fact very nice. Now if it were a Hi-MD deck, I would certainly be interested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Indeed. I would actually use a CD/HiMD for making compilation discs and such. That way there'd be no SonicStage, and *hardware encoding* for atrac3plus modes. Of course, they'd also have to make it possible to use any of the atrac3 and atrac3plus bitrates, including original SP. Oh, and an ethernet port and bluetooth to get cddb access. Yeah, I know... Dream on. edit: Strange how I see something else emerge when I reread what I've written. In the context of an appliance like I've described here.. where only the Hi/MD side is a writer.. the DRM system makes sense and would work really well.

KJ_Palmer Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Yes, well if Sony (or someone else) brings out a range of separates Hi-MD decks, with the same functionality as the standard MD stock, they can have my money... If not, after a brief flourishing of Hi-MD, I can see that being the end of the format. Well maybe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campekenobi Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 If not, after a brief flourishing of Hi-MD, I can see that being the end of the format. Well maybe....I worry about this too... the whole "a little too late" reality of the hi-MD may certainly be something comparable to the neon, see-thru floppy diskettes... like, "oh they look cool... but um, we're not using them anymore so it's a bit late." I wonder if you meant "end of the format" for hi-MD specifically, or the whole MD family. Well - blah - I care not, because I'm in another subculture (vinyl enthusiasts) and I'm used to being in the minority when it comes to formats... I guess I kinda like it that way (as long as I can still buy gear that will play them that is!!!) Since MD is/was so big in Japan, perhaps MD decks/players may still exist 30 years from now?? On ebay or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NRen2k5 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I wonder how much the MD-CD1 costs... ? Companies these days forget all too often to put the price tag of their product anywhere near the specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NRen2k5 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hmm, Tascam's online store won't ship anything outside of the U.S.A. How useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
