grf Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Hi,I have seen lots of posts about the death of minidisc and wails about the lack of a minidisc deck (apart form Onkyo ).I was wondering if I could suggest what may be a useful portable minidisc addition.I have seen elsewhere the codes for the remote to the minidisc have been decoded as switched resitor values. I also feel that decoding the serial text from the minidisc for display might also be acheived.If this was done, a small box with a large display could be constructed which would be connected in place of the remote and allow the track now playing to be displayed in a large backlit display. It would also allow timed recording of radio programmes (using an internal timer and external infra red control of the tuner). It would also allow remote control of the MD using a 'standard IR' remote from across the room. With an on screen keyboard the titling would be easier than on the current remote.These features would then make the portable MD look more like a deck.What does the list think of this idea?Cheersgrf Edited April 8, 2008 by grf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIS SUCKS Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 i have been thinking about something similar for a while now. maybe a company (not sony) could design and build it. kind of like hi-md rendered created by marc in this forum. it is an awesome program for uploading ned md and its not from sony!

KJ_Palmer Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Excellent idea - I'd even be happy with a Hi-MD dock, a la Ipod docks for easy attachment to the Hi-Fi. Maybe the USB port could be used? Perhaps even Sony could be cajoled into the idea as a final parting gift to us loyal MD users... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 it would have to be made by a minidisc fan, no way sony gonna make it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungerdunger Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Perhaps even Sony could be cajoled into the idea as a final parting gift to us loyal MD users...The Sony Corporate Dictionary doesn't have any entry for the word "loyal".
