Here's a thought: How do CD-ROM drives work at over 48x then?

Can't really comment, but I suspect it's probably getting the technology at
a reasonable price - these kiosks (which I haven't heard about) will
probably cover their own development/production costs - are they for
downloading music onto MD or something?
At the end of the day, Zip and CD-R/RW are basically THE formats which
everyone uses for large(ish) capacity removeable media (like bigger than a
floppy), apart from stuff like DAT/DLT, etc. I can't really see MD taking
off as a removeable storage format. What they need to do is produce an MD
deck or portable with a USB interface on it or something, which is purely
designed for audio, because all people are really using MD for in a big way
is audio.
