[QUOTE="BigD, post: 625559, member: 37520"] @Aptmunich Sony are selling the new Hi-MD minidiscs in enough numbers to continue support. They are selling them with Digital editing and field recording in mind, an area where the minidisc still retains a significant advantage over the iPod. I recently received an email back from Sony in regards to my grievance over PCs being better supported than the Mac. This was the response I recieved and is a bit diappointing really :-( -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear BigD I am sorry to learn that the software recommended in my previous communication does not meet your requirements. Although I understand that this is frustrating for you, we have sold many MZ-RH1 units, and have had positive feedback from our customers regarding this product. Sony United Kingdom Limited does attempt to meet, and often exceed, our customers' expectations. Having said this, it is with regret that on some occasions a product may not suit each individual's specific requirements. While we are unable to assist directly on this occasion, I have logged your case with us as a complaint and as such, this will automatically get fed back to the products designers. Whilst they will not look to contact you directly as a result of this, you can be sure that at least your view on this will be recognised. Regrettably I do not have any information relating to the possible release of future software updates for this product. I apologise for any disappointment that this may cause. Yours sincerely Nicholas Burbridge Customer Information Centre SONY UNITED KINGDOM LTD Sony United Kingdom Limited, a company registered in England and Wales.
