SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the structure of MiniDiscs and their relevance in the current audio technology landscape. Participants express curiosity about the MiniDisc format, with specific inquiries about its capacity expansion from 640MB to higher sizes like 1.5GB and 2.4GB. There is a consensus that while MiniDiscs have a niche following, solid-state and hard drive-based players are dominating the market due to their superior capacity and convenience. The conversation highlights the ongoing interest in legacy formats amidst the rise of modern audio solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MiniDisc technology and its historical context
  • Knowledge of audio file formats and their storage capacities
  • Familiarity with solid-state and hard drive-based audio players
  • Basic concepts of audio compression and quality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the technical specifications of MiniDisc players and their media
  • Explore the evolution of audio storage formats from MiniDiscs to solid-state drives
  • Learn about audio compression techniques that affect storage capacity
  • Investigate current trends in portable audio devices and their market impact
USEFUL FOR

Audio enthusiasts, collectors of vintage technology, and anyone interested in the evolution of music storage formats will benefit from this discussion.

Do you know how MD is structured ?

Thanks
WRab
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
MiniDisk?
Masters degree?
The two-character country code for MOLDOVA?
Multi-Disk Plugin for RAID?
Muscular Dystrophy?
Doctor of Medicine?

Can you be more specific? :-D
 
Thanks,
I only wanted to know who will be the first to have in mind "Maryland" image instead of MiniDisk-the actual one whose structure I now would like to know about ..-lol-.
Anttech, Can you help me ? Where can I find some information about it ?

I don't know if it is also possible for you to tell me how a disc can be "extend" from 640 to 700, 1.5GB, 2.4GB etc.

Again Thanks Anttech

Who has a minidisc player? I thought it went the way of the cookoo bird. You'll end up paying an arm and a leg for the player plus all the media. Solid state and hard drive based players are the way of the future.

People do still carry them. I've seen them around.

But yeah, HD based players will take over he future, as far as high-capacity music goes.

Flash memory card players still offer better battery-life though, for those who don't need 1000 songs. Plus, they're usually lighter and completely skip free.
