Anyone own a portable minidisc player?

[MaGilicuti]

I am thinking of getting one for the gym, wanted some opinions on how good it is and what not. Like is it easy to record shit with it? Compared to a cd player how is it?

I like mine. Only problem is that it takes a lot of time to put tracks on the minidisk. Not like a cd burner where I can put an hours worth of music on a cd in 7 minutes. It takes and hour of time to put an hour of music on to a minidisk for me.

I bought mine in Japan years ago, I wish I never did now. Cuz I hardly ever use it. Too much hassle to burn tracks. Next I want a mp3 player for the gym.

Dude, MD players rule. I got my first one 1.5 years ago and haven't looked back since. Discs are $2 as opposed to 80 for an mp3 disk. You record the same way you did with a tape deck i.e. let the song play in its enirity(sp?) and record. It's hard as fuck to get them to skip. I run for 30 min a day and have no problems. MD players only take 1 A battery and my MD player came with a rechargeable battery that I charge in the MD player itself. Now they've got extended play MDs that can record up to 5 hours on one disc!

yeah get an mp3 player bro ... md's suck compared to them
first of all it takes 60 minutes to record 60 minutes of music onto them but with mp3 players it takes like 2 minutes and the mp3 compression quality is better than that of md
