It’s hard to believe that TDK have been involved in data storage since 1935. The company once known as Tokyo Denki Kagaku (Tokyo Electronics and Chemicals), has just brought out a 50 gig Blu-ray disk.
Hot stuff indeed. I went to check it out at in their “Life on Record Trailer” in London.
The Trailer is on a 12 month European tour and is showcasing music and video over the ages. Click on the vid to have a nosy around.
Enjoy - Wil.
Cool show!!
I didn’t even remember TDK existed, what has happended with those guys !!???
Minidisc was fantastic. I bought a Sony MZ-R50 back in the late 90’s and absolutely loved it. It would definitely have become the portable format of choice if it weren’t for MP3 coming along.
I Loved my Mini Disc player. I held out on getting an ipod for a long time because I loved it so much. Plus my head phone cord had a am/fm tuner in it which was a nice plus. I was so sad when the head phones broke, MD’s were out of fashion then. Wolfe slush
The 70’s, 80’s, and the Naughties; I love it!
Thanks Wil,
