jonathanp03 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The Hi MD disk is 45 hours, right? I read somewhere that Hi MD players will record 13 hours on a standard 80 min mini disc. Is that correct? How does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malheuresement Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The Hi MD disk is 45 hours, right? I read somewhere that Hi MD players will record 13 hours on a standard 80 min mini disc. Is that correct? How does that work?←Actually, a better figure for the amount of music (or data come to that) is the storage capacity. A 1GB HiMD disc holds ~965 MB, and an 80 minute MD can store 300 MB music/data.THe amount (hence play-time) of music you can store is determined by the quality / bitrate that you convert your files 'at'. I use 64 kbps (ATRAC 3+) and typically, an album is about 18-25 MB in size. Do the maths and you get the following: HiMD - 35-40 albums / 450-500 tracks; MD - 10-12 albums / 120-140 tracks. This is a clip from the NH900 user manual.[attachmentid=227]THe question then becomes "what bitrate to rip your music at"........I suggest you trawl the forums to answer this one!!!mal.
