Yeah, they have that one model left. There are no more consumer models unless you can find some old stock. Regarding the manufacture of the blanks - I remember reading someplace that they were shutting down the plant that manufactured the discs. Searching now I can't find a reference to the article. Yes, you can still get them mail order and on E-Bay. The format it dead from the perspective that Sony won't be rolling out any new models and aren't making updates to the ATRAC codec. They even abandoned ATRAC on their media players, which shocked me. Anyway, I'll leave it at that. I don't want to turn this into a discussion of Sony/MD/ATRAC. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.
