  Bought my first minidisc recorder in 1998. Loved it immediately. Still own a player and many discs and it still gets used by me.

  Incredible format!! I used it a lot in the early 2000s, if you record from CD digitally using the optical input the sound is almost indistinguishable from the CD source.   It's not lossless but it's much much better than early MP3s.

  Glad to see other people out there still using their MD's!

  You can turn off the AVLS on the E501 without the remote. While playing a disc, slide hold to the lock position. Then hold down the VOL + key and while still holding it down slide the hold switch in the other direction. It's in the manual.

  I bought the R70 new and travelled the world with it. My favourite among all the MD recorders even though it doesn’t have LP. Its killer feature is that it has two headphone outputs (surprised you didn’t mention this) which was awesome when listening to music with together a hot girl. It’s also the last recorder to feature the classic Walkman logo which I think is way more iconic than the newer one. The mzr70 is the most retro futuristic looking machine too in my opinion, which is cool.

  Type R and S are the version of the ATRAC encoding, R brought the LP modes and S was the last one, so HiMD and more

  I’m still using them. I have an OEM Mazda MiniDisc LP headunit in my 2003 MX-5, my Sony recording deck in my HiFi, and my Sony NetMD portable recorder, which I connect to my Sony VIAO laptop running NetMD software on Windows XP to transfer tracks.

  Lovely video, I had plenty of MDs when I was younger, but the funny part is, I haven&apos;t been able to keep any as I used to buy them and resell them for a small profit, gather the money and buy clothes for the next school year.<br>I want a blue MZ-R55, had some really good memories with.
