Guest Anonymous Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hi, i just bought a new Sony MZ N-1 and now im looking for discs. I noticed that there are alot of discs with different 'quality'. does one disc actually differ from the other. like a gold edition whatever for 2.50 a disc or just a regular disc for $1???? also, if the 74 minute discs can hold 5 hours, what about the 80 minute discs??? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystyler Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 The only difference will be the build quality of the plastic shell - sound quality is the same across all discs. By all means try the cheap ones, if they don't work you haven't lost much and if they do work (which they certainly should) you have scored a bargain.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 The dye could vary from disc to disc. It wouldn't affect audio quality, but such a thing affects the lifespa of the disc and the chances of a bad burn (which generally just doesn't happen at all with minidisc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 I've only had trouble with Hi-Space discs (shoddy construction; some data loss) and two Memorex (vibration noise, bad UTOC sectors). Some of my players are more picky than others (my JVC had the most trouble with Memorex for some reason). You can't go wrong with Sony and Denon, TDK and Axia are very good, Maxell, Fuji and Memorex are certainly useable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo_ Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 I refuse to use memorex... once the slip cover thing broke, while inside... was stuck for a day or two. had to shake it out... i was scared as hell but i only buy sony md's. I dont know. I'm one who sticks to one company for a certain product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krhainos Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Well the only problem I've run into with Memorex discs was, sometimes if you remove a disc too quickly the shutter stays open. Aside from that, I've had no problems -- Other brands I've tried were Sony's "Color Collection", and some TDKs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 I just noticed that BJ had trouble with Memorex discs in a JVC player. That's just as likely the JVC's fault as the discs'! In my household we have two JVC CD changers and they both have a lot of trouble playing certain factory pressed (I mean store bought) audio-CD's. JVC is crap.

Bazirker Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 I haven't had any trouble with the memorex discs and I have 20 of them. I actually just bought some Fujifilm discs, nice and cheap ($15US for 10 80min discs) and they're pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
