80 min. disc compatibility

Hello,

I just bought a minidisc player/recorder (Sony MZR900) on E-Bay, and I am thinking about buying a deck unit still from E-Bay since they are so hard to find.

I would like to buy some new minidiscs but I am wondering if the 80 minute ones will be totally compatible with older (1997-2003) players/recorders, either walkmans or decks. Would it be better to stick to standard 74 minutes one? Any sound quality differences between the two?

Thanks a lot and have a great day,

Stephan

Welcome to MDCF.

You can certainly use the 80min MD Media with your newly acquired MZ-R900. All MD media - 60min, 74min and 80min - are compatible with all MD units regardless if it is a Pre-NetMD, NetMD or Hi-MD unit. As for sound quality - no differences whatsoever between 74min and 80min.

Thank you very much for your response. I am looking for 80 minute ES blank discs but they are very hard to find...especially here is Canada, it looks like they are going out, unfortunately.

Thanks again,

Stephane
