Getting to know the MD
(continued)
Recordable MDs
Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical
(MO) technology, can be recorded again and
again. The laser inside the recorder applies
heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic
layer of the MD. The recorder then applies a
magnetic field to the layer. This magnetic
field corresponds exactly to the audio signals
generated by the connected source. (The
north and south polarities equate to digital
"1" and "0") . The demagnetised MD adopts
the polarity of the magnetic field, resulting
in a recorded MD.
Features
Long recording
The MD uses a new digital audio
compression technology called Adaptive
TRansform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC). To
store more sound in less space, ATRAC
extracts and encodes only those frequency
components actually audible to the human
ear.
Quick random access
Like CDs, MDs offer instantaneous random
access to the beginning of any music track.
Pre-mastered MDs are recorded with
location addresses corresponding to each
music track.
Shock-resistant memory
One major drawback of optical read systems
is that they skip or mute the sound when
subject to vibration. The MD system
resolves this problem by using a buffer
memory that stores audio data.
