High Quality Mini-Discs (?&*%)
5 Answers
I am confused, the other day I went to buy some blank Minidiscs. I am a musician and for rough or live recording use a Mini-Disc player with a microphone. The guy in the shop said that I maybe interested in a certain type of Mini-Disc they do. Basically I know of three types, (1) the Mini-Discs that cost about �15 each and store 'other' data aswell as audio. (2) normal Mini-Disc's that I would normally buy. and (3) these 'special' Mini-disc that are only slightly more expensive than the normal ones and apparently record at a higher quality! But surely Digital is Digital, what you put in is what you get out, does quality come into it? or is it like camera resolutions and different pixel quality?

'md' players simply encode audio to a digital format as with CD's so I can only assume that he was either:
1. Trying to sell you a disc which is less likely to misread and can be recorded more times than a 'standard' disc, or.....
2. Was pulling a fast one!
My Net-md player lets you encode at different bit-rates that allow you to double and then quadruple the md capacity - but with loss of quality (as with your digicam analogy), but this is all done irrespective of the make of md used.

It's purely a quality of the media used question between the latter two....most everyone would agree that a Sony MD player would be a better bit of kit than something like a matsui or some such brand, so the same goes for media...they will all do the same job but the better quality kit will last longer and have less chance of degridation.
