mini disc is the fucking greatest! I have a system thingy that burned at 4x and a personal portable thingy. both are directly form japan and you can only get them from japan. the battery in the portable lasts 150 hours! that is right hours! that is the rechargable battery and 1 aa and that is with 3 min of skip protection! the system is a cd player and a md player/recorder. you just pop a dics in there and hit record and it records at 4x. they just came out with a 'NET MD version of the system I have that records at 32x from your computer. I wish I had gotten that because it also automatically transferes all the sond names so you don't have to type each one in.
some sites you can buy direct from japan:
www.minidisco.com
and
www.minidisct.com
mini disc t has a bigger selection especally in the boombox/system selection. you should go check it out and let me know if you have any ?'s
also my system that I have (it is the Kenwood MDX-G7) is have is so cool! it is about 1.5in thick and can be mounted on the wall like a picture frame. the sound is preimum (if only I had a woofer). the thing is more compled than a computer from bofore 1998! (well not really but you know what I mean)
the one that is the some model that has NET MD is the MDX-J9
I highly suggest you take a look at minidisct! they have a lot of cool shit!
if you know what to get a MD can be the greatest little gaget in the world!
