MINIDISC electronica

hi does anyone know a site that sells edm on minidisc?

just got a new car and it only has minidisc in it.

previous owners minidiscs consist of J.LO, motown and... angelcity. great.


alternatively how do you make your own?

cheers.

Can't you record stuff onto (blank?) minidiscs as you would onto cassette tapes?

minidisc is a dead format as far music being released on it.
however, there are still minidisc players and you can still find blank minidisc cartridges if you look around.

sony's last versions of the md had a usbplug and also simplified the recording onto the cartridges. they used to call it net-md i think. the cartridges was either 60 or 80minutes and you could double & quadruple the length on the tapes with longplay which resulted in some compromise in aural quality.

look around on the web and you will find all of this

there are plenty of blank discs on amazon but no prerecorded stuff.

would this allow me to record my own tunes?

and what else would i need? i thought you needed a hifi with an optical cable

cheers!!

Dude! Get another car. You got scammed!

its a lightweight trackday spec C impreza. it doesnt come with a stereo. the previous owner had installed a minidisc. nothing wrong with MD if you can record your own, the quality is good and the discs are sturdy.

this looks like one you can record off your pc for a bit extra. 55 quid but. im only wanting it to record minidiscs for the car.

Just get another stereo man. $100 well worth it.

Go for a Sony MEX-BT3600U (Bluetooth / USB / AUX Handsfree CD Player) + eg 4 GB micro SD

Best deal looking at price/quality/features I think.

What a brilliantly malicious scheme! I'm telling you that guy must be the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler himself


Anywho, you can just search discogs for a specific format and then go from there.

Really? That's funny, because I have heard an opinion that letting minidiscs die off was very fascist of the electronics industry to do.

minidiscs are class. no need for tons of shite tunes you wont be listening to anyway. just a select few hand picked quality electronic tracks.

not every tune is suited to listening in a car.

You should start a "Trance to listen in a car" thread...































































...or have a blog.

'trance' isnt so good for the car.. not with heavy synth lines anyway.

techier stuff like...

nick sentience - digital dialogue

u2 - elevation (paul van dyk mix)

or even clubby, housey stuff like the first cd of pvds 'cream ibiza' works well. (second cd is garbage)

straight trance doesnt work well from my experience. sounds out of place and has too much high frequencies.

What the hell? You are a moron.

For the price of 5 minidiscs you could have a new car stereo that plays CDs or mp3s.


Posted by rubez on Mar-11-2009 13:44:

5 minidiscs cost around �6. dont know what shit stereo you have or what your smoking, but your way off. mines is a kenwood.

plus the fact there are already more MDs in the car than i'll ever need! and they are re-writable.

why would i want to burn cds (that scratch) when i just can drag and drop tracks to a MD?

as i said i hand-pick my tracks for the car, so its not just any old guff i stick on there - im not after quantity AT ALL. takes me ages to pick out 10 perfect tracks for driving. not interested in 50-track mp3 cds with mostly filler. you are just skipping most of them anyway - stupid and pointless!

just need a few quality minidiscs made up with suitable tracks and im sorted. a few scumfrog, a few picotto, a few hybrid tracks. not looking for 100's of tunes ill never play - its for car use only, moron!

I bought that stereo for my car over Christmas, I think it's brilliant and I would certainly recommend it. Although it doesn't have an SD slot like you suggested, it has a USB slot (very handy).

its better than your heap i'd bet.

its a lightweight 350BHP spec C impreza. japanese import. only 1000 made.

there she is.



its a trackday car they dont come with electric windows/mirrors, air conditioning, central locking or a stereo. i had to pay to get all the electrics installed again. the previous owner installed a minidisc.

Posted by rubez on Mar-11-2009 16:43:

scumfrog is amazing you fool!


its house/prog trance. incase you were thinking of spacefrog... which is rave/hardstyle i think.

and this car would rip the tights off any evo MR.
