At last- great storage capacityFeb 09, 2005
By L. Power
"nlp trainer"
Having gotten the new 1 gb 45 hour disc mini disc, I am happy because it is now possible to get on one disc what I previously had to spread over 34 standard 80 minute discs. If I want, I can store about 900 songs, or 70 cd's, or save a whole year of voice lessons.
Can you imagine how great it is to no longer worry about running out of disk space or having to delete tracks to create space, or using a lot of discs.
For $6.99 for 45 hours, this is $0.15 per hour compared to about $1.50 per disc for the standard 80 minute discs, so the value is incredible.
If you have an older MD player you may find this HI-MD to be incompatible with that software, so be sure your player is compatible or that you have updated software before buying. My MZN HF800 (reviewed separately) is compatible.
I highly recommend this. I hope this review was helpful.

The Minidisc ImprovedJan 13, 2005
By Alan Craig
The Sony HMD1G Hi_MD minidisc is now a little bit more available
and is really a good idea. It is a major improvment on the
original minidiscs which only held 60 mins., 74mins., and 80mins.
The new one holds just under Eight (8) hours of music or data
when recorded in the standard play mode. Quite an accomplishment
for Sony. I have to agree with the other reviewer who opines that
Sony does not seem to be making a decent effort to "sell" their
product. IT is almost as if they want this format to go the way
of "BETA" or "DAT" One would think that Sony would want to
recoup the R+D money invested in this format. I personally think
that $6.98 for a disc that holds as much as this one does is
a great buy.

 MINIDISC IS FOREVER!!Jan 30, 2005
By M. DUlisse
This disc can hold up to 40 discs on one mini. The sound quality is perfect. These discs can be hard to find in the stores,but they are available at www.minidisco.com. They even are available in 10 and 20 packs. I would also suggest buying the sony MZ-NH1. It's a little pricey,but the sound quality is excellent. It's almost as small as a minidisc and you can do everything from the remote. You can even download to and from your computer.

 Hi-MD 1GB MiniDisc is misleadingAug 18, 2005
By S Sifu

The product overall is good. You can store mp3 and pcm files. The only 2 problems I have with this player is that the files are hidden inside Sony's proprietary file system and you cannot upload files twice from the player. The second time it deletes the file from your disc. Beware of Sony's DRM. If you use it for recording interviews and want to convert it to wave files you will be good with the first upload but the second upload deletes your interview and you wouldn't know it until you try to open it again.
Pro: Good sound, nice design, great idea and finally support for MP3 (took Sony long enough)
Con: Stupid DRM, uses proprietary file system that hides your files
Stay away from Hi-MD players until you find a way to extract the files without it being deleted.
