But I've used dozens of HiSpace without any problems. Why do so many peeps think cheap has to mean rubbish? Same with me. I'm using them w\o any problems, and they're pretty good in terms of build quality. I've seen no big differences between them and, say, the Sony blanks. Some of my friends

The only Hi Space disc I have is the one that came with my Sony R70 from PlanetMinidisc. In the past, I've always used Sony. When I opened it up, the shutter was open, exposing the disc. Gently pushing on it got it to close. I tried recording on it and it recorded for about 45 minutes and then

I agree, of course, with all these good comments about Hi Space minidisc... I know that you can tell I'm not impartial, but you're false on this... You know, It's only since one month that I'm a Hi Space distributor... I've looked for Sony and TDK before to sell their minidisc and they were
