MD advice please?

Can anyone advise me if Sony Hi-MD's can be used in a NET MD player?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean Hi-MD discs in a non Hi-MD player?

aliasojo

Yes, sorry. In my hurry to post I guess I wasn't very clear. :-/

If a minidisc is Hi-MD formatted (either a 1Gb disc or a reformatted standard one to increase capacity) will only play in a Hi-MD machine.

If a normal MD is in the standard format it will play in a non Hi-MD machine provided a compatible compression e.g. LP2, LP4 and SP would be compatible with a NetMD player/recorder.

see https://www.minidisc.org
and
http://www.minidisct.com/ (has excellent forums).

Thanks very much blinky. I've bookmarked those sites, very informative.

Appreciate you taking the time.
