"Good Bye Mp3 Players! No its not another napster junk"

Sony MZ-N1 is Sony's first NetMD Type-R DSP MDLP MiniDisc recorder equiped with high quality DSP Type-R with world's longest playback time of up to 100 hours in LP4. Unit is smaller and lighter than previous MZ-R909. Revolutionary NetMD feature allows high speed (SP 2-4X/LP2 16X/LP4 30X faster than realtime) transfer of sound and text data between PC and MD (both downloading and uploading) through OpenMG Jukebox software (same copyright protection software used on Sony Memory Stick player see OpenMG).

Sounds coool....read whole article here.

You can get the less expensive model, MZ-N0, for a lot less money and then get a Type-R sticker to put on it

This will kill MP3 the same way 3dfx's Glide killed OpenGL.

By that you mean it wont, right?

3dfx is dead so what do you think?

openMG sucks. it restricts the amount of times you can copy files from one device to another. it's propietary protection system basically means you are screwed if you want to copy your songs over and over or to share it with your friends ie. mp3 format.. the reason mp3's are so popular is because you can share it with as many people as you want as many times as you want. if you want to get behind something.. i suggest an even better format then mp3 called OGG VORBIS.. gay name yes.. but better compression then mp3 at better sound quality.

This could be about as popular as Sony's "memory stick" technology compared to compact flash and smart media. Last time I checked, compact flash and smart media own the largest share of the market.

Who'da thunk Sony would still be producing mini disks...seeing as how they are so popular right now

It does sound cool though.
