sfbp Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was watching a BBC Thriller called State of Play involving shenanigans between politicians, an oil company, the police and a (mythical) newspaper. In episode 4 it becomes clear that the reporter is using MD all over the place to capture soundbites from actors in this adventure. I love looking at the pictorials, but to me the fascination with MD is twofold - the functionality, and the quality of the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think . Have to find one of the OLD big clunky iPods , dig out the guts , get the right size MD recorder . ( Maybe even taking the case off and putting the guts into the iPod case ???) and cut the edge of the iPod case so a disc can slide thru , into the mechanism . Hmmmmm sounds like a forum challange eh ! Make Magazine worthy I say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking at Best Buy (salesperson roughly 20) resulted in puzzled looks, and me ultimately being shown those small dvds. Thank God I can easily find HI-MDs here.

tekdroid Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Asking at Best Buy (salesperson roughly 20) resulted in puzzled looks, and me ultimately being shown those small dvds.This exact thing happened to me in JB Hi-Fi in Australia.Another branch of the same store I got the response from a 20ish girl: "oh yes, I know them, my dad uses those". That put things really in perspective for me. It felt like I was after ancient manuscripts.Of course there were no Hi-MDs on sale when I checked (and they still are impossible to find to this day), but yes to regular MiniDisc (collecting dust on said store's shelves).

Thank God I can easily find HI-MDs here.Believe it or not that same thing happens here in Colombia hahah, I usually find 80m discs at the equivalent to 2 dollars, but I always have to explain myself to the seller, correcting them, telling them its for music, not video cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him frantically swapping out discs during the concert. Then again, with HiMD he'd probably be doing the same with the batteries, unless he had a AA pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
