icy, a lot of my tracks are 192kbs so if i knock them down to 128 i should save myself a lot of room

on my pc i have about 2000 tracks at the mo, but i dont have more than 2-3 tracks off any album or any full albums as yet

i could cut out most of the crap, christmas songs, 12" mioxes etc and fit 1000 on ok

how much is the smallest normal ipod? worth paying the bit more?

aye but what do u need on top?

docking station?

i used to have a minidisk player and i used it in car/home/walking/bike etc so these seem pretty damn good

gonna have 2 go have a look @ them to see quality and size.

smaller one will fit in pocket nicely, might see if they bring out a larger HDD for the mini one (doubt it as yet) or see if any shops doing a good deal in a month or so

when did they officially come out?

New minidisc format has been announced... 1gig per disc at $7 each. Not bad going. Uploading and data use as well. I know what I'm going to buy Screw Ipods and their shitty batteries

With the strength of the £, and taking into account ripp off britain, I think they'll be £5 max. Bearing in mind that the current top Sony MD recorder is about £210 here, and $300 in the US, I don't think it'll be that bad a ripp off.
