MD: Interesting article...

 You might want to have a look at:

...thanks for the link Gabriele.

I wonder if anyone noticed the following quote toward the end of the
article.

"MiniDisc is used a lot in Hollywood for playback as well. Because its speed
is stable, performers can dance or lipsync to it for music videos. Its fast
cueing and easy-to-edit track markers make it very flexible in the
field...etc...etc."

This quote (along with others sprinkled throughout the article) only confirm
what I suggested in a previous post...that Mini Disc will be around for the
foreseeable future because of it's widespread use in the field of
professional pre/post production audio recording. True, you may not be able
to find a large selection at the local Circuit City in the near future. But
MD is being used extensively by recording professionals (particularly  in
the film industry). And that fact alone will insure it's survival long after
it fades as a mass market consumer medium, even as it did for DAT before it.
So fear not Mini Disc lovers...the medium is safe...although you may soon
have to shop with pro audio suppliers for equipment and blank media.

Which has its benefits. My latest "low end" ($700) DAT deck allows the
SCMS to be switched off, since DAT is now apparently considered to be a
professional format. When I got my previous DAT deck (around 1993),
DAT decks under $1200 were considered "consumer" decks, with unswitchable
SCMS.

Tho I fear if MD became a pro format, we be paying pro prices.
