According to minidisc.org — the best source for minidisc related news and info — Sony’s reps at the Consumer Electronics Show say that the new Hi-MD format will allow for uploading audio from minidisc to PC. As best as I can tell this is only for audio recorded with an MD recorder — like audio recorded with a microphone or through the line-in. But that’s EXACTLY what MD users, especially those using MD for reporting and other indy media projects, have been clamoring for since NetMD first came out about two years ago.
To help us keep track of this new format, minidisc.org has started a Hi-MD FAQ.
