Hi everybody,
I've seen a lot of postings here about MP3, ATRAC and MD as
technology. Also I've seen many speculations about why MD hasn't
become popular enough (except probably Japan) despite of its
superiority over CD. As far as I remember SONY tried to make MD a
de-facto standard for digital media, focusing primarily at computers.
It was a nice attempt to replace 1.44 floppy... But (AFAIK) new
"standard" failed to gain enough support and approval from major
manufacturers, so MD-drive has never hit the market. Then SONY has
changed the focus now aiming at audio-video appliances. MD is not
suitable to store raw data anymore (not really).
The question is does it have a future?
Does anyone know about DataPlay media? (http://www.dataplay.com/)
Do you think that 32mm-disk (about size of a quarter) of 500Mb is
going to replace MD in near future?
