Great for home recording, and becoming cheaper

Advantages: Excellent quality now cheap second hand
Disadvantages: old model lacks features

...Imagine if you will, a miniature CD in a plastic casing slightly thicker than a bog standard 3.5" floppy disk, yet containing the capacity to record an album and a half of music - and there you have a minidisk, or MD. Sony developed the MD as the succe ...

Recordable or not recordable the great debate

One of the Smallest MD Players in the World

Advantages: Tiny, huge battery life, great sound.
Disadvantages: Only a player...
