At last- great storage capacity February 9, 2005
59 out of 62 found this review helpful
Having gotten the new 1 gb 45 hour disc mini disc, I am happy because it is now possible to get on one disc what I previously had to spread over 34 standard 80 minute discs. If I want, I can store about 900 songs, or 70 cd's, or save a whole year of voice lessons.
Can you imagine how great it is to no longer worry about running out of disk space or having to delete tracks to create space, or using a lot of discs.
For $6.99 for 45 hours, this is $0.15 per hour compared to about $1.50 per disc for the standard 80 minute discs, so the value is incredible.
If you have an older MD player you may find this HI-MD to be incompatible with that software, so be sure your player is compatible or that you have updated software before buying. My MZN HF800 (reviewed separately) is compatible.
I highly recommend this. If you find this review helpful please click yes.
 MINIDISC IS FOREVER!! January 31, 2005
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This disc can hold up to 40 discs on one mini. The sound quality is perfect. These discs can be hard to find in the stores,but they are available at www.minidisco.com. They even are available in 10 and 20 packs. I would also suggest buying the sony MZ-NH1. It's a little pricey,but the sound quality is excellent. It's almost as small as a minidisc and you can do everything from the remote. You can even download to and from your computer.
The Minidisc Improved January 13, 2005

The Sony HMD1G Hi_MD minidisc is now a little bit more available
and is really a good idea. It is a major improvment on the
original minidiscs which only held 60 mins., 74mins., and 80mins.
The new one holds just under Eight (8) hours of music or data
when recorded in the standard play mode. Quite an accomplishment
for Sony. I have to agree with the other reviewer who opines that
Sony does not seem to be making a decent effort to "sell" their
product. IT is almost as if they want this format to go the way
of "BETA" or "DAT" One would think that Sony would want to
recoup the R+D money invested in this format. I personally think
that $6.98 for a disc that holds as much as this one does is
a great buy.

I have been using a NE410 Net-MD walkman that I got from Walmart 6 months ago and I like the convinience and compactness of it, although it only holds 50 songs per disc with the LP4 codec. I got a NH600 HI-MD Walkman recently and this new technology makes soo much more sence. It can fit 300+ songs on one disc with the 64 Kbps ATRAC3plus codec (that's equal to 128 Kbps in MP3 quality). I can fit all 200+ of my CD's on 5 HI-MD discs.
The thing I don't like right now is that Sony, as usual sold millions of players, and only a small handfull of recordable discs for them, so you're stuck bidding on ebay, or waiting on backorder from the vendors. Plus the 10 pack of HI-MD discs are only sold in Canada, whats up with that?
