I found my old MD Player/recorder but it doesn't record anymore seemingly.
This was such a great product to bad it got abandoned at when it was going to get really good.
Minidiscs are so great.

Does anyone else use these anymore? It seems people are still buying them before no more are left to be found.
This holiday season I might pickup a home headunit to record epic mixes.
If anyone has any old stuff, I might buy it off ya.

Re: Minidiscs are so great. (breadbox)
for $85 off of CL I got a NetMD player and an older Recorder player, and a collection of minidiscs, at least 60 discs.
I wish they still made these because I just learned Hi-MD over a GB of storage on 1 disc and 30 hours of recording on one disc in the longest play setting. That's crazy.
With what I have I can get like 5hours of playback on a disc. From a product that's 6 years old.
Still impressed with the MD player and kinda still seeing what I can do with Sonicstage.
Got 81 tracks on a disc today.

Re: Minidiscs are so great. (breadbox)
The Minidisc has lasted a long time for a format with such limited support. I really think increasingly affordable flash memory will mean the death of MD soon, though. All the benefits MD offers over traditional optical formats are shared by flash memory, but flash memory is more resilient, more compact, and cheaper in addition to being much more widely supported. Hi-MD players cost hundreds of dollars, and then you need the media as well. Hundreds of dollars will buy you several gigabytes of flash memory in an MP3 player, and with USB 3.0 and 6Gb/S SATA arriving now, transfer rates for flash-based music players are about to get reallyreally fast.

I could imagine it would be a comparable cost had MD not been dropped, HI-MD is really amazing even today. I read some where the BBC is backedup on MD for most of the 90's.
Still sux when flash memory craps out.
Where is my FLAC player? hell they could make so many better player then mp3, I want what isn't around anymore.
My iRiver hp120 was the best player I ever touched.

I only owned one mini disc. I friend gave it to me when I first got my car. It had "The Electric Slide" in 4 different languages and nothing else.

Re: Minidiscs are so great. (SkinnyKibbles)
Ya know what's weird about MDs? They still come in a lot of new cars. My wife's car has one, the mother-in-law's Crown Athlete has one and my bother-in-law's Nissan El Grand has one. Hardly anyone uses them over here anymore, but they are still super expensive at the electronics shop. Most people are going to MP3 players these days.
I still have tons of MD's that I made when I first moved over here and had a player for a while so I had tunes to listen to when I would ride the bus to work. But, not anymore because my cell phone is now my MP3 player.

Re: Minidiscs are so great. (Gold Digger)
I wish they were easy to find every here. I am trying to find people who had a ton of the stuff back in the day, and buy it all so I can make new stuff now.
The sound quality makes me so happy, that crap speaker usually sound better.
It fun when I listen to MD in my car with full sound.
A passenger plugs in the phone to rock out, sounds crap and flat.
I wish I had my old iriver player, that was an amazing piece of tech.
