Hi-MD

["d.m.fairweather" <dmf273@xxxxxxxxx>]

With all the talk about mic recordings via minidisc, you may be interested to know that
Sony is launching its Hi-MD format in late July or August.  It allows mic recording to
non-lossy .wav format, or to several varying degrees of ATRAC compression.  A single
1-Gig disk will hold anywhere from 90 min of uncompressed to 34 hours of highly
compressed music.
