Sony Develops Longer-Recording Mini Discs

Lokie · 10-January-04, 09:39 PM

This is from Thursday but its interesting enough to post.

Sony Corp. unveiled on Thursday a revamped mini-disc Walkman that doubles the recording capacity of current discs and a new 1-gigabyte mini disc that records up to 45 hours of music, up from the current 80 minutes.

The new offerings from the Japanese electronics and entertainment giant, called Hi-MD, attempt to make up for the qualities that were lacking in current mini discs, such as sound quality and compatibility with personal computers, while keeping prices affordable.

Full story here.
