I was just looking at sonicsense's web page, and they're selling 140mb minidiscs. They're pretty damn expensive, but if they work in my md recorder I may have to pick up a pack for when I need to stealth. 2 hrs and 20 minutes is a lot better than 80, and would probably eliminate tape flips...
Any thoughts?

Indeed, they are uber exspensive for now...probably won't last very long though! Now if you MD'ers could get rid of that compression garbage, you would be in da business!

Well I don't consider myself an "MDer" anymore, as I tape on my iBook. But I don't have a DAT to stealth with, and I can't see myself ever getting one.
I figure since you can write over an MD, I could just reuse 'em over and over. I'm still waiting on an email from SonicSense to see if they'd actually work with my Sony, though...
I'm pretty sure that's a "data only" type md. Not for use to record audio. I could be mistaken.
But does that mean it wont work? Data DATs are used in recorders all the time...
and why would sonicsense be selling it then?
good call, but the dat format i think is basicly the same, but you can record at 44.1/48 ect. Whereas some MD players and recorders don't have different modes as in LP2/4 or mono, and therefore they cannot read them as some can. I don't know, i still don't think they would work, but if so, hells yea, badass product i'd buy them..
i know what yer saying about the MDLP, however, i think this is part of the disc and not a function of the recorder. Hopefully the price drops and I can test them
They are data discs. minidisco is selling the sony brand of them. To bad to it would be nice to eliminate the tape flip

Yeah I don't either, but from what I read the audio discs are not compatible in MD data equipment and vice versa. The data discs are shaped different and the TOC is different.
They appear to be the same capacity of audio discs - remember they hold 74-80 minutes of compressed music - that's a fair bit to put into 140MB. Sounds like you might have been thinking 140 minutes.
