This is true too. If Sony would introduce 4-8X combo CD-player MD recorder
at cheap prices, it might ignite a minidisc fire. But they probably think
that might lessen their brand name. But I think it would be a good start
and might up sales of their upper-level models as well.
I showed my MD player to an old boss at work once, and the first question he
asked was if you could buy pre-recorded music. Sony needs to either price
this medium low enough for teenagers to buy, or get better pre-recorder MD
coverage. Older people are usually too busy to take on another format, one
that's pretty much blank digital tape at that.
In other news, I was cleaning out some boxes the other day and found an old
magazine with a DCC advert in it. haha. MD has a lot of life in it still.
