With Hi-MD technology, users can record up to 45 hours of music on one disc utilizing USB high speed transfer. Removable, re-recordable Hi-MD media offers 1GB of storage on each disc for expandable music collections and virtually all PC data files.

The 2005 Hi-MD players play back both MP3 and ATRAC3 audio files, in addition to supporting WMA and WAV formats. And with the top-of-the-line MZ-DH10P model, you can even take digital images right on the device.

“Many musicians, journalists and digital music fans rely on the flexibility and durability of the MiniDisc format,” said Allan Jason, vice president for portable audio products at Sony Electronics. “Our latest models increase the utility of the players and bring more advantages to our MD customers.”

All of the models are compatible with Sony’s Connect
