Anyone still use MiniDiscs?

Just found a stack of 12 unopened / still sealed 80 minute MiniDiscs in a box full of studio gear.

There's 6 Sony coloured ones, 4 TDK plain black and 2 TDK colour.

Fiver all in if anyone wants them before I stick em on eBay.

Personally i always found them to have a better sound quality then CD's, Dunno why though, They are just the same except smaller right? I always used minidiscs for my recordings as the bass was a lot better on them then cd's

Not as good, they use a proprietary compression codec (ATRAC) to achieve approx 1/6 compression from standard CD quality. The codec was really ahead of it's time but has been superseded by MP3 and then AAC.

mini disc! another great product that for what ever reason just didn't take off

yep

still got my hitachi cd/md player that me and a mate used years ago to record some weird shite we knocked together with my groovebox and his guitar hehe

for everyday use it pisses all over cd...

quality sound, but well over priced compared to cd players and recorders

I used to record through my DAT machines DACS to get a warmer sound and prob the same for the minidisc as recording direct with cubase was too clinical sounding for me. Because the electronics were top notch and expensive back then they were quality within DAT's and minidiscs. give it a go, you may or maynot notice it

I now record through my Digital desk which gives me that warmer sound

i have a minidisc internal computer drive laying around somewherez...

i still have my pocket sony md recorder and a component unit... i have it hooked up to my dvd player for if i ever feel like plagerizing a movie for some samples
