It's a fairly complete visual guide; however a few omissions I noticed:

1. Bianca Gen 2 missing – released 2004

2. The vertically-lettered "BASIC" disc, as well as the yellow-green 74- and light-blue 80-minute Basics

3. Color Collection Gen 5

4. The MD Data2 (MD View; video) was solely for use with the DCM-M1, while MD Data (still images & data) was for the DSC-MD1.

5. Hi-MD Gen 1 missing

There might be a few other series or images missing, but getting as far as you have is a solid effort. Good stuff.

I'll admit, I slot into MD nerdery territory as opposed to the whole of what Sony did in the past.

Very nostalgic reading through that lineup, I still have my two MZ-NH1 and MZ-RH910 in use, hi md was what I was waiting years for then they ruined it by forcing sonicstage as the way to manage the discs.

I bought an MZR55 from eBay earlier this year. Exactly the same as I used to have except it’s blue not silver. But it works! And I have some great colourful discs to go with it. Unwrapping them is such a nostalgia hit!
