Hi all

Just a reflection on some observations.

After a few years of listening to essentually "Tuneless" and repetitive highly compressed music people often go back to "mellower" and easier listening types of sound (hence the popularity of Karaoke etc.

On long car journets there is also now a big rise in the popularity of "Audio Books". initially a product for Blind people this has now hit mainstream.

A 80 MD standard minidisc at Hi-LP can record around 2 complete audio books (say of around 3 1/2 hrs each) or 7 hours.

This is great for long journeys -- I always (and so do others) use the MD for this and play it through the Car Radio's Aux In. No need to carry around loads of CD's and an Ipod isn't really suited to this type of application. You don't necessarily want audio books permanently recorded on an Ipod but take a few minidiscs and it's great.

For Speech in a Car quality of Hi-LP is more than adequte -- far better than a decent AM signal which is also tolerable in a car for speech type programs.

Cheers
