Two of the best cinematic anime movies out there are the Patlabor movies, and they are coming to DVD, the first on 7/25 and the second on 8/1 supposedly (according to Anime on DVD)...
copy and manipulate Minidiscs filled with digital music files as if they were regular computer files.
I have a portable MD and a deck and the flexibility of the format is a lot of fun. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be direct access to the disks to avoid all that copying time..
http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDH -10.html At $769 for a drive it doesn't seem like quite a deal.. at a lower price, I sure would have wanted one, though. But I imagine Sony wasn't thrilled at the prospect of being able to copy and manipulate Minidiscs filled with digital music files. They were probably trying to prevent the kind of freedom we have with mp3 files.
