I am using MZ-N710 and with some modern day open-source NetMD software that doesn't limit how many discs you can write with one audio file, it's definitely a nice device.
I bought the Sony N510 in 2003, the year it was released. I found it in my basement 2 weeks ago. Not only does it still work, but now I can transfer lossless tracks in lp2 mode from my pc to disc. Sound quality is so good, I don't know why I stopped using it. Also, I used to be able to edit music while recording. This technology needs to be revived.
Nice video!!! I love Minidisk!!! Specially now with the new web Minidisc application. So easy now to transfer music to the md player. Greetings from Holland.
My Sharp MD MT88, bought in 2002, has a HUGE dent in the back and I recently found it in a box with a battery still in it.. the battery had leaked.. but it still bloody works! Best 100 quid I ever spent
Can't wait to get another Minidisc player/recorder. I had an MD-N505 a long time ago. Can't remember if I gave it away or trashed it but I can't find it now so it's gone either way. Picked up an N707 on eBay. Going to put that into production just to play music. Hopefully it'll be compatible with the web app.
I have a Sharp MT29 and it is really nice and has a great sound, plus it's so small and light for a recorder, makes my original Sony MZ-R35 that I used to own look like an outdated brick.
I find it kind of funny that I'm listening to a minidisc as I type this comment (for anyone wondering, I'm using a Sony MZ-R35, but I hope to get an MDLP capable player/recorder at some point in the next few months)
I can really recommend the Sharp MT88; got mt first one from Richer Sounds in 2002 and got heavy use out of it as a recorder (street music mostly) and player until it finally gave up the ghost over 10 years later, so I bought two more on Ebay for around £20 at the time, though they have been increasing in price steadily since then... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHARP-MT88-MINIDISC-RECORDER-WITH-MICROPHONE/184737770993?hash=item2b033aadf1:g:coAAAOSwYClgZO8M
I have about 40 MiniDIscs and, even though I have loads of HiMD, NetMD and MDLP models, I keep going back to the trusty old MZ-R35. It's a fully metal beast and has better amplification than any of the later models. I have 2 MZ-R35s and also an MZ-R30, which is virtually identical. As far as I can tell it is just minor cosmetic differences between them.
Been using one of these... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHARP-MT88-MINIDISC-RECORDER-WITH-MICROPHONE/184737770993?hash=item2b033aadf1:g:coAAAOSwYClgZO8M for about 20 years...
Hello! I have a broken Sharp MD-MT888. It is in very good cosmetic condition but one day it stopped working. Do you have by any chance have a repair guide for this Minidisc player recorder?
Virtually all of them use standard headphones. In fact, I've never come across one that didn't. I have many that run on AA batteries and quite a few on Gumstick as well as some that use a LIP-12 battery. As both the Gumstick and LIP-12 batteries are still available new, it hasn't been a problem. I've avoided all models that use the LIP-4 batteries as you can't get them for love or money, and also the ones with built-in internal batteries.
The only problem I have encountered with Platinum MD is not being able to write multiple tracks at once sometimes. Otherwise it works just fine with the NetMD units I have.
This technology is obsolete. It has a high probability to breakage. Due to it's machnics, having moving parts inside of it. Therefore, their no point of this technology incomparison to the technology that we have today, which is not so machanical, and more durable.

The MZ-N510 was mine, that exact same color too. It was awesome. Still is.
Use rechargeable batteries in the Sony r37, it’s really good. The Sony 510 type s is also very good. The sound from both is exceptional.
Just made my own mix after my dad gave me his Walkman mini disc mz-g750!

Have you noticed how the price of second hand MD players has shot up in recent years?
I know right
I will never stop to use them for an ipod.

Hello, all of these mic inputs record in stereo? I'm looking for a quick way to capture band practice to disc. Any of these have external mics? thanks
the ones with mic sockets record in stereo- none have built in mics- regards.
Been using one of these...

Where is Sony MZ-R900?
Sound good or bad?
I had the Sony MZ-G750. Never had problems with the radio
Just to give you a Major Update I Got My Sony Net MD Working On A PC Windows 10 with Sonicstage maybe you should do a video about that in 2022
Loved the video
Depends on your headphones i am using philips l2 semi open backs .

sorry,. i dont. i have attempted many repairs over the years but never sucessfuLly on MD
Net MD is still usable on windows 10 I use it for my blue 710 ^^
Got sony mz n1 from eBay for£20 sounds amazing
nice MD
Rather go for models which runs on AA batteries and use standard headphones Sony did made such models
Virtually all of them use standard headphones. In fact, I've never come across one that didn't.

Like hell I tried a Rubix cube before it hard af to solve
I prefer sony because the mainitence is easyer
More important they work Sony Is the best
Net MD no longer supported? That’s not true right?
Look up platinum MD or web minidisc
@@TH-camAIbot Web Minidisc works for the most part, except some annoying bugs. I could not get Platinum MD to work.
@@Wordsalad69420 yeah platinum MD is more finicky to get working and imo it’s harder to use. I prefer WebMinidisc
I've found web minidisc works best. Just got to use zadig, with the MD plugged in, to get the drivers from it and it works pretty well
The only problem I have encountered with Platinum MD is not being able to write multiple tracks at once sometimes. Otherwise it works just fine with the NetMD units I have.
I had the same sharp recorder which was built like a tank but I destroy it by Falling on at once.
