Yeah, they have that one model left.  There are no more consumer models
unless you can find some old stock.  Regarding the manufacture of the
blanks - I remember reading someplace that they were shutting down the
plant that manufactured the discs.  Searching now I can't find a
reference to the article.  Yes, you can still get them mail order and
on E-Bay.

The format it dead from the perspective that Sony won't be rolling out
any new models and aren't making updates to the ATRAC codec.  They even
abandoned ATRAC on their media players, which shocked me.

Anyway, I'll leave it at that.  I don't want to turn this into a
discussion of Sony/MD/ATRAC.
