Well I have kind of decided with a portable mini-disc recorder so I can just burn straight to my player....

But do any of you have any recommendations? I've seen some really nice Sharp.

Check out this link for lots of players, I'm really new to this all so any advice would be cool.

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.

discman that can play mp3s is probly best...if u have a cd burner

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.

Check this to learn more http://www.minidisct.com/md_facts.html

So I guess I just really want to see what owners or prospective owners think..

I've made my mind up now with the minidisc, just a matter of which one now

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*
