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
The media wars have always interested me...
Let me start of by saying MD is my favorite media but.
Dataplay is yet another nail in the coffin for MD. Although the atrac
compression has a foreseeable future, the actual media, MD, is dying. For
audio, 74 mins on a MD sized disc is ok, when
Quite a while ago someone published a link for a faq on cd-rw, and the
technology behing it. Can someone please repost it? Obviously i'm not
searching google correctly
Thanks.

I just got a set of Etymotic ER-4S earphones, and I am astounded at the
sound. They are incredible. Some people have said that the 4S's lack
bass and require a headphone amp, but I'm using them with my Sony MZR-90
and they are loud enough for me with excellent bass, and that's not even
with
great effect of the seal is that it blocks out a lot of exterior noise,
so high volume is not required. I love them for my train ride to work,
I can just loose myself in the music.
I found the same thing with Sony's nude ex buds. When songs are quiet,
they're QUIET, no matter what's going on
Well. All this because a new guy to the list dared to post a message from
Hotmail. :)

I remember way back when there was a discussion on here about whether or not
it was safe/allowed to use Minidisc players in aeroplanes. What's the
current state of play with this?

With all the talk on the future of MD, the bigger question is why
are companies still making cassette tape? Americans hate any kind
of change, and gonna stick with crap like cassette until it's not
around any more. Lots of people gave up LPs not because CD was
better, but because the
why wouldn't it be?
MD players have to have the same shielding as CD Players and laptops and all that.

They aren't cheap, they'll set you back about $300.00 (USD) but I think
they're well worth it. They also come in a nice case with various
