    Great question. I'd be interested in the answer to this, too, as I have used Minidisc to archive things the exact same way. I've always had to use the analog outputs.....

    Here are a few more Mindiscs that I just found in a drawer. These are my Minidiscs of the "John Lennon Anthology" box set. For these, I used slip-cases, not the flip-style jewel cases...

    Those are neat Clark. Not be a Beatles fan though, I'm curious who the artist is ???

    You mean the drawings? I believe they are Lennon's own drawings..

    1st drawing says "A Family Tree"
    the 4th says "He Tried to Face Reality."

    Couple more portables.

    The Sony I saved from a Sony MD display that was being thrown out!

    The RCA isn't a bad player. If I remember correctly it was a rebranded Sharp?

    Look what I found!

    I bought this many, many years ago to enter text information on my MDS-JA50ES. Sure made life much easier!

    I had no end of trouble with the UK Maxell black/coloured blanks with errors so stock to Sony Prems, TDK XG/iX and JVC.

    Mine stopped working years ago. I still have a big box of discs in my attic if anyone wants to trade for something!

    What kind of MiniDiscs are they? Recordable or pre-recorded albums?

    The are recordable ones, with writing on the labels, etc. I dunno anyone would really want them. Probably some good tunes though.
     

  21. Thanks for posting these - I also have the 'Recording Walkman' in the bottom photo.

    Still use it weekly.

    Best Wishes,

    Clark you do do incredible work,those are gorgeous.If it weren't for copyrights,you could make a fortune selling those things,if you had enough blanks.

    Clearly there are people who sell b***leg Minidiscs on ebay.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elvis-Presl...e-Album-MINI-DISC-7-rare-tracks-/310680464422

    Has anyone put together a list of all the pre recorded Minidiscs that were made,especially in Japan?

    How about a picture of a prerecorded Minidisc in the original package?I saw blanks for years,but I don't believe I ever saw a prerecorded disc.

    What brand of MiniDiscs? Sony, Memorex, TDK, etc..
     
  25. I found a box of blank discs this weekend, so I decided to make up some comp discs. (I still listen to MD comp discs when commuting to and from work on the bus.) I discovered that I still had SonicStage on an old XP computer, so I used that. It was like old times.
