WHAT DOES MINIDISC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

minidisc

MiniDisc

The MiniDisc is an obsolete magneto-optical disc-based data storage device for 74 minutes and, later, 80 minutes, of digitized audio or 1 gigabyte of Hi-MD data. The Sony brand audio players were on the market from September 1992 until March 2013. MiniDisc was announced by Sony in September 1992 and released that November for sale in Japan and in December for the USA and Europe. The music format was originally based exclusively on ATRAC audio data compression, but the option of linear PCM digital recording was later introduced to attain audio quality comparable to that of a compact disc. MiniDiscs were very popular in Japan but made a limited impact elsewhere. The first MiniDisc to be released in the USA was MTV Unplugged by Mariah Carey on December 7, 1992. Sony announced they would cease development of MD devices, with last of the players to be sold by March 2013.
