♥♥♥♥ Make Your Minidisc Recorder a Little More Useful
This is a very niche product -- it's for people already using Hi-MD who also use a digital camera. I bought it because I hate to tote a laptop on vacation just to upload photos. But with an 8 megapixel camera, I fill up memory cards fast.

For me, the math is easy. A $2 blank MD holds the entire contents of my 256 MB xD card. So I only have to carry the MCM-DR1 and my minidisc recorder, which I always carry on vacation anyway so I can listen to tunes. When my card gets full, I pop the pics onto an MD and then I'm ready to go again.

Sure, one of the new hard disc picture viewer/storage devices would do the same thing, and better, but at much more cost.

If you don't already own a Hi-MD recorder, or aren't already into minidisc, then I don't recommend it. But if you own a Hi-MD (or intend to upgrade), and want an easy way to store or backup the contents of memory cards (it accepts most major formats including SD, xD, MemoryStick and CF) without having to tote around a laptop, then I can't recommend it highly enough.

It's simple and it works, doing exactly what it promises to. My only complaint is that it can be a little slow when you've got a few hundred megabytes to transfer (darn USB 1.1).
