Re: MD: mini disc advertising (was hating mp3)
Hi Robert, If thats the same ad we saw in Britain with the guy with a pigeon on his head I certainly think the genius behind it deserves reasonable payment for his workj -- a bullet in the brain!!! I can say I am staggered by how many guys in their late teens, or twenties here in Britain are aware of minidisc-- even if they havent bought into the format, and are well aware of its abilities. They know about it but havent bought one. I do agree though that a good ad by Sony could do wonders. Memory-stick etc music storage? rubbish! Five years ago peeps said hard disks would be dinosaurs and look what happenned! 17GB for about ukp120, good god go back 10 years and you'd have been lucky to get 170MB for ukp120 !!!

I have never seen print media advertisements though, only in Japan where there are brochures in all the stores (cause most big stores sell everythingKmart style I guess).

Sony also has MD advertising here in Spain, and I think it has helped - but I've only seen it before movies. It shows 3 or 4 different folks doing all sorts of wacked-out stuff with headphones on - some of it quite physical - and then ends with a guy sitting at his desk recording an MD, popping it out of the deck, and then dropping into his portable, labelled 'musica para volar' (music for flying). He then gets funky with some pigeons and the commercial ends with some voice over about your music (can't remember exactly what the slogan is). Like I mentioned in an earlier post, this advertising seemed to at least raise general awareness here. And the ad is decent. It sends home the "home recording" point mentioned above and raises awareness. This commercial isn't specifically Spanish - most of it is music. I'd be surprised if it hasn't made it elsewhere. more general interest bits for you all... bob - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MD: mini disc advertising (was hating mp3)
I too think that Sony needs to actually do something about MD. I see
Phillips' CD-R ads ("Got to admit it's gettin' better -- gettin' better
all the time") on TV and elsewhere, but the only advertisements for MD
I've seen are in Marvel Comics! Nothing even in SOUND VISION magazine,
I don't think. TV and radio commercials would help a lot. In fact, now
may be Sony's one window of opportunity.
Hi there list,
belive it or not, Sony does actually advertise the Mini Disc over here in
Oz. I gota admit though that the ads are really strange and very obscure,
I'm not sure it's really what they need. No explanation of the general
capabilities, though it does make it clear that they have recording
capabilities I gotta admit. I have never seen print media advertisements
though, only in Japan where there are brochures in all the stores (cause
most big stores sell everythingKmart style I guess). It has just a big
a hiold over there as cd etc in terms of presence in stock displays.
Well, enough of my ramble, just a point of interest.
