Create and recreate mixes as many times as you like. You can record up to 1 million times on a single MiniDisc without any loss of sound quality. 4. Save a bundle when recording music. MiniDiscs are still the cheapest form of blank digital recording media around. MiniDiscs still cost about $3-4 (for about 80 minutes of audio), compared with Compact Flash and Smart Media at $70-80 (for about 30 minutes of audio) each. Well, points 1-3 are great. Point 4, while correct in the fact that MD is much cheaper than CF/SmartMedia, I'd hate to be the poor schlub paying $3-4 per minidisc.

If, hypothetically, you needed them immediately, BestBuy has them for something like $2/disc, and Circuit City has had them for as little as $1.50/disc. If, hypothetically, time was not of the essence, Peter Forrest and Art Munson, also subscribers of this list, have them anywhere from $1.10-1.35/per disc. I believe that there are minimum quantities necessary to gain the price, but the quantities are not high...something like 5-10 at a time. -- Mike Burger CompuCom Information Services http://www.compucomis.net (215) 946-5573 - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From: "Ken Clinger" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. If you get a MiniDisc recorder you'll have the ability to convert and playback any standard audio format including MP3, Real Audio, Windows Media audio, ripped CD tracks, and Liquid Audio! This is the kind of thing I just don't understand. The writer (I realize it wasn't you Ken) is leaving people with a false impression (imo). If you take an MP3, RA, WM, LA, or any OTHER type of compressed audio file you care to name, and record that file to minidisc, it has just been compressed again. Data has been lost not once but twice. This simply HAS to have deliterious effects on fidelity.
