LHB Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) The SONY Hi-MD 1GB Media MiniDisc / SONY HMD1G Hi-MD 1 GB Media MiniDisc will probably not work for LP2 files, right?

(MZ-E300, using NetMD to transfer)Correct. 1GB discs can hold LP2 files but only when transferred to a Hi-MD unit as 1GB discs can't be reformatted to NetMD.

Avrin Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) And I should probably add that LP2 (and LP4) files occupy less space on 1Gb Hi-MD and HI-MD-formatted legacy MD discs, since they are not bit-padded for compatibility with older machines. You get 4 hours and 50 minutes of perfect LP2 (and 9 hours and 50 minutes of LP4) on a single Hi-MD-formatted 80 minute MD disc. The reason behind this is a more efficient modulation method, and the lack of padding. The disc will only be playable on Hi-MD compatible machines though.And a 1Gb Hi-MD disc is able to store 16 hours and 30 minutes of LP2-encoded music.

A440 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) The disc will only be playable on Hi-MD compatible machines though.Which is to say, you won't be able to play the 1GB disc on your E300, no matter what's on it.

mdmania Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Simple way to put 1GB Minidisc is only for Hi-MD unit not reversable. But legacy minidisc is for both Net MD or Hi-MD (Formating required however). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
