Ohhh My mums got one these she still uses it a lot for all of her Madonna MD.
They dont go for much on eBay about 70-100£ but need the cash then yeah okay they will defantly go up in price more.
I remember having headphones with an inline remote but they’re not here, also had a little hifi with an MD slot that i used to record stuff off the radio
Minidisc was so cool, shame they didn’t become more popular.
I loved my Minidisc. Digital optical connectivity and I was also able to connect it to my car’s tape deck.
I have one of those. I’m giving it a few more years before I dig it out and hook it up to some speakers for a trip down memory lane.
I think I had the same model, I remember buying one in my teens when a woman I played hockey with had a mini disc player stereo in her car, I thought it was the coolest thing
I had this exact minidisc player too. I remember the little remote on the headphones. I spent hours recording my albums to blank minidiscs via the living room dvd player. I upgraded afterwards to a purple Sony Walkman NW-A3000, which seemed the most futuristic thing I’d ever seen at the time.
I used to love my minidisc recorder. It was a great way to record band rehearsals and song demos in the days before decent microphones in smart phones
I always wanted one as thought they were cool, but never did.
Ended up going tape > mp3 cd player > mp3 player.
I invested a lot in MD technology, sadly.
Playlist must be good
Ohhh, I had this mini disc player. Exact model. Memories flooding back!
I think I’ve still got mine somewhere.
I remember going in to Woolworths and praying they had the song I wanted on mini disc
Amazing bit of kit, I had the N700 in blue, such a good format, just shit software really killed it before iTunes took over.
The clunk as you put a disc in was so satisfying.
Still use mine, not the same model, bookmarking a continuous voice recording is still a PITA and hit and miss on MP3, several times track didn’t “close” corrupting the file, MD just works.
Sonicstage killed MD that shit was horrendous to use. Thank fook web minidisc project exists.
Also best of luck if you have a chewing gum battery instead of AA.
I loved my minidisc player
*shrieks in 20-year-old-me*
Let me guess: it still works?
The only time I’ve been mugged and it had to be when i had my MD player on me 🤧 i miss you little guy.
Back to a time in the early 2000s when all electronics were silver. I had that same one I think.
IMHO minidisc was the absolute peak in form and function.
If it hadn’t been superseded so quickly the question of capacity and high definition would’ve been solved quickly.
You wouldn’t have to worry about scratching, and the form factor was so compact. It would’ve been the best. You could be so much more creative with it’s appearance.
Immediately just remembered the kid in my shool with one, filled with Dre and TuPac. That you Egg Head?
That thing will work long after humanity is ashes, mine was indestructible. Top music memories

Nice. Techmoan or Big Clive would approve.
Probably be sought-after on Ebay, give it a try!
