Information on MDs (Minidiscs)

This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 80 minutes (SP mode) of playback and
recording.
The cartridge
The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, smaller than a CD
single. The disc sits inside a 68 × 72 mm cartridge, which
also being pocket size, makes minidiscs extremely handy
for carrying and storage. Since the disc is protected by the
cartridge, dust and dirt cannot easily get into it. And thanks
to a shutter which is closed at all times except during use,
there is no need to worry about scratches or finger marks,
making the handling of minidiscs very simple.
Two types of minidisc
There are two types of minidisc, "recordable MDs" and
"playback-only MDs." The playback method for each is the
same: a laser irradiates the disc and the signal is read from
the beam which comes back. However, the recording
method for each type is different.
Playback-only MD
This is the type used for commercially-available pre-re-
corded MDs, on which recording cannot be done. Like a
CD, data is recorded based on the presence or absence of
small indentations called pits. A disc recorded with this for-
mat is called an "optical disc."
Recordable MDs
These are the so-called "blank" MDs you can use to make
your own recordings. Data is recorded by magnetism,
which is easily processed, so that recording can be done
again and again. By using a laser to heat the disc, the mag-
netism is erased and the magnetic head records the new
data. Discs with this type of recording method are called
magneto-optical (MO) discs.
