s Information on MDs (Minidiscs) s
This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 74 minutes of playback and recording.
Cartridge Disc

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.
