whats the deal with these? is a new minidisc player needed for these? or will they work on the old ones? |

I think the 1GB will need a new one but your old minidiscs can be reformatted to the new type and still work in your odl one. Someting like that. |

Hello - this is known in the md community since january... :P HiMD is a improvement but has still got some stupid drm unfortunately... old md´s will play on the new md-units or you can reformat your old md´s so more music will fit on them. Pogo is quite right in a way - HiMD units does not play mp3 directly, recompression is needed before playing. HiMD allows the user to use a md as a floppy disc to store data on them, but it seperates "music" & "data" - so to store mp3´s is alright, but not directly playing them... (Sony must stop this drm-junk, HiMD needs ALL usual mp3-player features otherwise it´s pretty doomed (more than it already is)) HiMd allows 1 h 28 min recording of PCM 44.1/16 bit (=CD quality sound) and this can be uploaded to a windows PC - that´s the only real strong advantage of HiMD that I can see. Md´s are great for sample-hunting and live-concert recording, I´ve been using two sonys since 98. They´re rugged and wellbuilt and works always great, which is ecspecially important in some live-situations. But for the future I will need a MAC-compatible recorder/uploader and HiMD does not offers this at the moment. General computermedia as CDR/W, DVDR/W and Harddrives are alot cheaper than md-media and offers, because of the ease of fast copying, almost as good storage. (md´s cartridge design and MO discs ruggedness can´t really be beaten though!) Solidstate compact Flash media recording with easy uploading is something I´m investigating for future recording projects. (Marantz & Tascam has some interesting stuff going on in this field) Sony´s DRM stuff is something I can live without. www.minidisc.org (a great site with all you need for portable recording/uploading - with or without md) |

has lots of info and a messageboard with minidisc NUTS who discuss way more than you probably want to know the site also has an informative FAQ and specs of HiMD and all the HiMD models, which, btw, have been delayed the cheapest one, which cannot record audio from a mic (upload from computer only) is shipping soon, but everything above that model is delayed until......... MID to LATE J U L Y far after my birthday ill have to sue sony for this i was planning on buying one soon (ill probably wait till they're finally introduced) so ive done more reading than i'd like to admit about them...... if anyone has questions i'd be honoured to answer them |

The prices of MD players have come down, so they need HiMD to have a reason to jack up the prices again. |
