AJUK Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Do you think SOny Electronics are just as P***ed off at Sony music as we are, at Sony holding back Minidisc technology (uploading and larger discs etc)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Absolutly. I'm sure engineers hate having restrictions placed on them that limit their product's capabilities more than the laws of physics and current technological capabilities. Frankly, I think damn near everyone should be pissed at Sony music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 I think Sony is putting alot of their efforts into the "Cell" project and Playstation III right now. Plus, Star Wars Galaxies just came out as well. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krhainos Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 I think Sony doesn't know what the hell they want to do.w0rd. the company Sony in general is too big for it's own good -- if Sony was just Sony Electronics, I don't think they'd be facing this problem. Sony Pictures and Sony Music is pretty much slapping the Electronics department around particularly in MD, since they practically can do whatever they want with it -- while their other stuff like VAIO PCs and CD Walkmans, the x86 standard and the Red Book audio CD already dictated those standards for them -- while MD technology is free to change for their own liking. It *is* unfortunate that Sony Music's move towards DRM-enabled MD products, but there's really not a whole lot we can do. The "Most Confusing Product" award goes to Sony's Network Walkman -- why does it exist? You have the ATRAC3 conversion hassle, just like NetMD, it's as small as a tiny memmory-based MP3 player, but it has triple the price. I'd rather get a 20GB iPod then pay for a 256MB "MP3-compatible" player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 some people rather the network walkman because of its size and weight...sure it doesn't hold as much as the ipod or isn't as "cost effective" but for them it's adequate to hold enough music to get to and from work/school/uni via public transport every day...and not that i knock the ipod or anything (i own one and i think it's great for wot it does)...
