One thing I used to think, is that you could re-record over the blank discs, is this true or not?
Anways, I'd love to hear if any of you have a player

minidisc minidisc minidisc!!! there are so many advantages that md has over mp3. If you found t-station, you prob already know them. i'd get a mzr900. i have the old non-mdlp player(mze90) and the mzr90. the r90 sucks ass though.

Thor trust me , an mp3 cd player (rio volt 2 or soul player) is far way better than a mini disc , we've already had the same thread here . I bought finally an mp3 cd player (rio volt 1 , the 2 wasn't released yet , but the 2 is better cuz it has an lcd remote control + fm receiver) and im verry happy with it

I honestly used to think the mp3/cd player was the way to go, but after reading more about minidisc it sure seems like an easy choice.

ya md is better because its not a huge "clunker" like the other cd players, and the new mdlp players can have like 160 min? at 128kbs. and the mt77 is a good recoreder, my friend has that one. i know where to get them cheap if you live in the U.S though.
all of our shizat at the radio station is on minidisc... and pretty much all of our work is on minidisc, so i feel very educated on this subject... anywho, the quality of minidisc is great
you can record and re-record infinite times WITHOUT losing quality
it's not like a cassette where with every play or record you lose a bit of quality, minidiscs will last you forever with proper care
it uses a plastic-like disc and uses a heat laser to put the data thingys in... so there's no permanent etching or anything of that nature
i in fact am in the process of prioritizing my finds so i can get one soon *drool*
...for me, i prefer md because it's very compact & also reusable discs...ultimately i think the (nonCD)mp3 players maybe better (solid-state, no moving parts etc.), but currently the flash memory is way too expensive for large music libraries...MP3CD isn't bad except for the size...i used to carry my discman around and it was always a pain, now minidisc is much smaller & lighter
good buy fraggle! hehe! i have a minidisc (sony) and its great, small, oine battery lasted a month, i can get 320 mins in stereo on one, dunno how it does it but it can! lol! go with minidisc and as along as u actually use it u cant go far wrong!
ps - naming cd's is a bastard! u have to scroll a > b > c > d > e etc so name with left and right! grrr!
mp3 player or mindisc?????
