I saw this too (the link to Sony doesn't work, the units can be seen on
www.minidisc.org), it'll be even more interesting if you can use this
like an MP3 device (via USB) to drag and drop files (better yet, if you
can upgrade current player/recorders to use the new 1Gb discs). Given
these are about 7 times the capacity of current minidiscs, the 8 hours
playing time mentioned suggests ATRAC compression will still be used.
