[ARSCLIST] NYT: In a Single DVD Changer, Hundreds of Movies and MP3's
In a Single DVD Changer, Hundreds of Movies and MP3's
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/23/technology/circuits/23chan.html
[1.5 years is 1.5 x 365 x 86,400 sec. = 4.73 x 10^7 seconds.
[A DVD has 4.7 x 10^9 bytes. 301 DVDs, then, have 1.42 x 10^12 bytes.
[Therefore, an MP3 file eats up 43 KB/sec. Is this about right?
[Mike's 2 million 78s, at 480 seconds (8 min.) each, is 9.6 x 10^8
seconds, or 30 years. Is *this* about right?
By IAN AUSTEN
A lthough it was not [71]Sony's main objective, the company has made
its DVP-CX875P DVD-CD changer something of a marathon machine. Among
other things, the 301-disc changer can play back DVD's containing
music recorded as MP3 files. Anyone who has the patience (and the
music collection) to fill 301 discs with MP3 files could sit back and
listen to music continuously for just under a year and a half.
But Bruce Pripido, Sony's marketing manager for DVD players,
anticipates that the jumbo changer is likely to be most popular among
owners of extensive collections of movies recorded on DVD's.
The gradual spread of computers that can record DVD's, Mr. Pripido
said, will increase demand for devices that can store and manage the
recordings. "It's our feeling that there will be quite a few of these
shiny discs out there," he said.
To keep track of its contents, the player, which is $500 at
www.sonystyle.com, allows users to create individual folders that they
can view on the television screen and manipulate using a joystick on
the player's remote control. And for users who want to take a break
from those months-long music sessions, the player will remember where
a disc has been stopped, and even if it has been removed from the
machine.
