When did they come out in the 90's

Released in 1992 and officially killed off in 2013. MD had little support from record labels and so there was limited pre-recorded albums. Also shortly after they came out, the CD-R came out, followed by the MP3. I had several players and hope to dig them out of boxes this summer.

Only really became popular in Japan. Not really anywhere else. Though I do remember when Best Buy had a MD section. It was small though. :/

What's crazy is that this Sony Minidisc player is still using the same AA battery that was in it when I stored it like 4 or so years ago. :eek: battery is still kicking.

@DR650SE, can you rip those mini disc's to WAV? Then you can compare how it sounds on the mini disc player and on your dap. 
 
Can you imagine how much room space you need to store those mini disc's or CD's equivalent to a fully loaded Samsung 1TB msata?

I actually have my collection of about that size in CD folders (about 200 discs per folder) and I think from memory there are about 12 folders. Imagine that in jewel cases!!

I have a 1TB diymod loaded with 924GB, but I have no idea how many CD albums are on that drive. LOL.

Bet it still sounds great. You might wanna just change the battery in case it leaks.

The X5 took its first tumble this weekend. No major harm, but some decent scuffs on the nice leather case. The taped modded 325E has made me all but forget.

I should try and find a way to rip them. I wonder if I could find an external MD drive that works like a CD drive. Man to have 1TB worth of MD, I'd have MD coming out of my ears!

Man, It's crazy how much things have changed.

Yea, it's crazy to think that now I can carry around 1TB worth of music. I remember when the MD was my first leap away from CDs. It was nice to be able to carry around a "lot" of music and not have to deal with the size of CDs. I had a small MD folder. And I created a lot of mix MDs. So it was like a digital music teaser. And when I created the mix MDs, I had to do a 1X copy so I had to let it record as the music played. I'm sure the sound quality is terrible lol. Especially since I was probably copying MP3s. Eventually Net MDs came about and they worked like MP3 CDs. I wonder when the last time I put down my MD player for good was. I don't remember what I traded it out for. I may have gone back to the CD player since there was very few pre recorded MDs.

However, this player has an optical in, so I'm thinking I may create some new Mix MD's by using the optical. Copy some HD tracks and see how it comes out.

I have fond memories of sitting in the hallway in high school, just outside the gym. on my lunch break, listening to music on my MD player. My how times have changed.

Bet it still sounds great. You might wanna just change the battery in case it leaks.

I'm going to give it a good listen over the next few days and experiment with making some new Mix minidiscs. Fun little toy.

lol I actually swapped out the battery this morning as I headed into work. I plan to listen to it on my lunch break.

I have that exact same player. Damn I loved that thing to death, I'd carry it everywhere.
I still have mine along with a couple MDs.
 
What I liked, and still do, about this player was the insanely long battery life, something like 80 hours just playing on a single AA battery.
