My small collection since 2008
Just the MD players and recorders I have bought over the years. All working and keep them scratch free by putting them in a little hip pouch when travelling. I record via optical on the Tascam (fantastic remote for naming tracks) and copy all sorts of stuff, including laserdisc concerts. The hi-fi is tremendous fun. Whacky loading tray. Out of all of these players, I do enjoy the little Panasonic. It’s EQ’d to a very 00s flavour and it’s tiny. I’m passing two of these down (along with my album and soundtrack/ radio series collection) to my little one when she’s old enough. Trying to get her into the Sanrio Victor players 😅 I love the creativity involved with MD and the scene. I print in the latest canon selphy and have a little die-cutter machine (graphic designer for over 25 years eek!) And I think every player and manufacturer deserves a go. I love how a player marks the identity you want on a particular day with an album when heading outdoors. Doesn’t always have to be Sony. Just enjoy what you like! Prices are a bit mad these days but still worth every penny if you ask me 🙂❤️ I’m planning on getting my wee girl into minidisc making, aside from playing. Perfect album size for a kids room and an introduction to artwork, curation and just making anything you want and commit it to a disc. The haptic physical joy of music. Because you’ll cherish it when you’re older. Side note. I recorded my first EP in 1999 on a minidisc and it served me well. Released an album a few years back on vinyl and followed up with a minidisc version - limited copies of course 😅 big shout to everyone on this marvellous Reddit channel who contribute and share their love and knowledge for the format. It keeps me and many others enthused and inspired.
