Another Great use for 74 / 80 Min Std Discs

If you guys can't find any 1GB discs any more the 74 / 80 MD discs (still easy to find and very cheap currently) why not try using these in HI-LP mode for Audio Books.

You can get often 2 entire books on an 80 Min MD recorded at HI-LP and for audio vocal (pure speech) it's fine (or even 48 kbs is not too bad for pure speech either --still beats the old tape hands down).

Audio Books are a great way to enjoy books when it's really difficult to read a book in a crowded train -- and even the most dedicated music listener I'm sure will want a change from time to time to listen to something else.

On a long car journey It's also great to have these audio books available -- if you've got a car unit LP4 on a standard MD is fine otherwise use an Audio In with your HI-MD recorder or those little transmitters you can buy everywhere.

One great thing about this type of recording is that almost (within reason) whatever bit rate you use the quality will be more than adequate.

Cheers
