>From what I understand, pre-recorded minidiscs are quite popular in Japan and parts of Europe. Recorders are useful for digital-quality "field recordings." Home-recorded ones can be edited at any time. Some radio stations use MDs, rather than "carts" or CDs, for PSAs, adverts, etc.
A new twist is some sort of device that downloads MP3s from a peecee to a Walkman-style MD player. The product came out in '01, and is supposedly helping to boost minidisc interest in the US. Think I'll stick to my iPod. ;-) Karen -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
