The unit contains (AFAIK) an 8x writer in the unit. This means a 4 minute
song (standard chart single length) would take 30 seconds to write to the
disc. I *think* they do a direct copy with pre-encoded ATRAC data the same
as a professional MD to MD copying unit would do. Now if they would just put
it in some places where you often hear the music... record stores.. clubs...
who knows! Wouldn't it be great if record stores had them like banks do cash
machines - you could pop a disc in at any time of the day or night and get a
copy of the latest single!

Subject: MD: MD jukebox...
>
> I saw on "Tomorrow's World" (a UK science and technology programme if you
didn't know what it is) an item about music of the future. Other than
mentions of MP3, they also showed an MD jukebox. It was about the same size
as a traditional jukebox. You put your MD in the machine, selected the song
you wanted to put onto it, and it said "within a few seconds the track was
copied to you're Minidisc". The cost was about 2 a song. They're coming to
the UK steets soon from Japan.

I'm also interested how the tracks are copied to the MD's so quickly. Does
anyone know how this is done?
