Re: [Hampshire] [OT] Vinyl Ripping Issue

The record company released MiniDisc were awful i would agree.

The recording side got good around version 4.5 of ATRAC earlier versions
were poorer. Cumulating in full Cd quality with HiMD and so no compression.

I don't know what you mean with the screws falling out of the media as none
of my MiniDisc have screw in. They are sealed plastic cases with a metal
floppy disk like flap.

As a format its relevance today is that it plugs into my separates and records
like old tape does but with the option of longer times at lower quality.
Its also Magneto Optical like the old syquest drives and has been shown to
have a long shelf life.
Its more of a home recording format than a portable format to most users now.
