Latest enchancement to MiniDisc is Hi-MD. It records and plays back on 1GB Hi-MDs as well as regular MDs. Total play/record time on the 1GB discs is 1h:30min uncompressed linear PCM. On regular MDs it's about 30min uncompressed. There are options for regular Sony ATRAC compression, too (for far more record/playback time per disc). So MD is not just compressed anymore.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
