campekenobi Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Since I got my hi-MD just a while ago, I only had one 1GB disc and instantly bought a bunch of cool-color regular MDs. Interestingly, after being a CD kinda guy and used to ONE album per CD, having 3 or even 4 albums on one MD I can handle and my brain likes it... but when I work on filling a 1GB... it's actually overwhelming! Unless it's like I pick ONE artist that has like 10 releases or something, but making a mix of different material to fit the disk (using just ATRAC3 at 132kbps) gives me sensory overload. Yes, I could use ATRAC3+ at 256, but that would make all my regular MDs at 132 sound bad, so I don't want to go there.... Does anyone understand what I'm saying here? Remember, I'm not a Hard-Drive 'mega-mix' type player, I like albums, and I like to have them to HOLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 This is a problem the purists have been talking about since we found out about HiMD sooo many months ago. It's really a trade off for quantity. However, I find using group mode (not sure if it exists on HiMD or not) help to group all the albums together on one disc much like a playlist.

campekenobi Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 The way I understand "groups" is simply FOLDERS - yes? You can certainly group w/ hiMD. without groups, it'd be hundreds of songs w/out ANY organization :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianobrien Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 yea I agree with you campekenobi. I still just use hi md’s much in the same way as I have always used md’s – by putting one or two albums on each disk. I do however use my one and only hi md disc for longtrips and for high quality recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
