Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by Schrödinger's Chat on Aug 16, 2016 13:29:33 GMT 1, Hi Folks
Does anyone have a minidisc player and / or old recorded minidiscs that they no longer want or need?
I gave mine away some years ago but have a real nostalgia at the moment and am looking to gather a collection of minidiscs recorded around the early 2000`s, particularly electronic, d&b, techno and hip hop.
Happy to pay a small amount of cash but mainly just looking to divert from landfill and reminisce.
PM if you have any.
Thanks

Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by Sliding on the Walls on Nov 16, 2016 21:29:04 GMT 1, I hate to say it, but I had loads of minidisks from my DJing days of mixes i'd done of Trance, Techno, Acid trance and acid techno from around 1999-2003. I threw them all out about 6 months ago!

Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by t3c on Nov 17, 2016 16:58:58 GMT 1, This is an intriguing topic!
I love mini-discs and how they sound. I used to sample lots of drums onto MD's then spit the audio back out into a hard disk recorder or such. Lovely digital compression you simply couldn't get through anything else due to the bitrate used.
I dug out 200+ minidiscs the other day and started to re-catalog them to eventually digitalise for easier access when listening on the move etc
My old Kenwood recorder died many years ago but i found a practically brand new clearly forgotten Sony one tucked away in the office the other day which i duly nabbed and rekindled my MD appreciation!
It's a brilliant format, still is imo despite it's age. I have a ton of festival recordings too where i used a minidisc and a mic taped to sunglasses so that the signal wasn't blocked so bad, it worked brilliantly outside but not so much in a room due to bass bounce. Orbital at Glastonbury, The Eclipse festival they did down in cornwall, I have so many amazing sets stashed away on these little discs.
Wicked thread, big up minidiscs!

Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by Monkey Say Monkey Do on Nov 17, 2016 17:09:41 GMT 1, would love a copy of Orbital live at Glasto on minidisc ,
they also work well as a car stereo as they dont jump like CD players ...
they were good for samples and adverts on the old pirate radio stations too ....

Give me until the new year and i'll see what i can do, house currently in disarray due to building works but once i get everything set up again i'll re-digitalise the lot into MP3 format. Got some rare Richie Hawtin R1 & live sets too which are well worth upping also (especially now he's pretty crap/boring)

Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by Schrödinger's Chat on Nov 21, 2016 15:21:15 GMT 1, My bro was an intern at MTV in the early 00's and had access to their whole video archive, he filled about 10 vhs tapes of old videos for me, mainly with electronic, break beat, hip-hop etc.
Had lots of old Orbital, my all time favourite being this video:

Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by hopz121 on Nov 21, 2016 16:09:06 GMT 1, It's weird how mini disc's / mini disc players never really took off.
It was a great idea at the time looking back at it,
Poor quality MP3 players seemed to capture the market at the time!

Minidiscs & Minidisc Player, by chichi carter on Nov 21, 2016 16:32:31 GMT 1, I also still have mine. Had bought a small back-electret stereo mic to plug in and mainly used it as a quick and compact set up to record reheasals and rough demos. Worked like a charm.

It's the Sony curse, they always create great quality formats but they never seem to win the format battle eg. Beta max, minidisc, bluray , lazerdisc (maybe not)
