4.0 out of 5 stars
A look into what makes MiniDisc technology tick.
Not for the technically illiterate, Jan Maes' "The MiniDisc" is based on a series of training sessions developed for Sony personnel in Europe. The book attempts to explain the technology behind MiniDisc from it's similarities to other optical formats (CD, CD-ROM, CD-MO) to it's distinctions (ATRAC compression, disc size, etc). Persons interested in what makes a MiniDisc...

A look into what makes MiniDisc technology tick.,
This review is from: Minidisc (Paperback)
Not for the technically illiterate, Jan Maes' "The MiniDisc" is based on a series of training sessions developed for Sony personnel in Europe. The book attempts to explain the technology behind MiniDisc from it's similarities to other optical formats (CD, CD-ROM, CD-MO) to it's distinctions (ATRAC compression, disc size, etc). Persons interested in what makes a MiniDisc system tick will get a lot out of this book. A glossary would have been helpful for those of us without degrees in audio engineering. Probably the only book of it's kind. Overall impression: favorable.

Gives good mid-level technical coverage of the MiniDisc system, but unfortunately provides neither the general story of MD's development and marketing, nor the important technical details of the system. Some parts are not completely accurate (such as the description of the MiniDisc UTOC layout).A reasonable purchase for someone trying to collect all the publicly available information about MiniDisc. Note that the definitive MiniDisc work -- Sony's "Rainbow Book" specification describing the entire system in detail -- is available only to MiniDisc licensees. |
