it took 20 years, but i finally got my dream minidisc player: a Sony MZ-S1 Sports NetMD. 🤯
a neighbour down the street listed it for sale "untested" which usually means 'i tested it and it's broken'.
i gambled and bought it on sight. i practically ran home like a 9 year old just to put it through its paces, and it is perfect. 😆
the build quality is rugged and beautiful throughout. many of the surfaces are rubberized with a polymer that is still soft (and hasn't broken down). the curvilinear surfaces feel so good in the hand, makes you want to hold it. the pearlescent white finish hasn't even yellowed yet (!)
instead of a jog dial, you get a mini thumbstick which rests surprisingly well under the thumb. the deep orange display of the Sports S2 line has always been a favourite of mine - something no other company did.
i can't wait to load up SonicStage on my iMac and start transferring music :D
failing that, i'll be using WebMiniDisc to transfer music in-browser
Und weil ich nicht mehr weiß, wegen welchem Programmpunkt ich 2003 „Radio aus Bruchsal“ auf diese #MiniDisc aufgenommen habe, hör ich mir jetzt halt die komplette Aufzeichnung durch.
Finally dug my #MiniDisc player out. Currently charging some batteries; gonna make some nice #VGM mixes... But more importantly, why have we abandoned physical media?? Just look at these. Look at what you could be storing your music on. 🤩
Hey there, #CCCamp23 people! I have about 20 or so #MiniDiscs and would love to archive them (lossless) as FLACs. However, I only have a MiniDisc player with analog output, and would like to avoid a DAC→ADC round trip.
I’m sure one of you has a player with either a digital output, or some kind of device that can rip the discs faster than in real time? Would you mind bringing it to the Camp, and could I borrow it for a while? (I’m also open to paying for that, if you want.)
I've wanted one of these for a long time, and I finally found one on eBay for a reasonable amount. It's an Onkyo Hi-MD deck. One of the few Hi-MD decks ever made. And it fits perfectly on top of my DENON shelf CD receiver. #minidisc#himd#hifi#vintage#audio
In a better world #MiniDisc would be the standard swappable media format today and the latest generation of it could probably hold like 1TB each at least. It would be glorious.
seriously, webminidisc.com is a masterpiece of engineering and UI design.
i dragged an album from my music library onto the page, and it automatically converted it to ATRAC format, uploaded it, and wrote it to my md player connected via usb.
Hätte durchaus Bock, bei der #GPN ein #Minidisc-Meetup zu machen. Geräte rumzeigen, Discs tauschen, Stuff reparieren. Könnte cool sein, aber ich kann echt nicht einschätzen, ob das irgendjemanden interessiert, und ich will den Stuff eigentlich auch nicht umsonst mitschleppen 🤔
2024 will be the year of the Minidisc in my hobby.
After finding out so many records I couldn't buy due of vulgar overprices I plan to buy a lot of blank minidiscs and a deck to create a different collection! #MiniDisc#ATRAC#MusicLover#MusicCollector
Без знания японского на слух оно слышится как "ЮЛЯ ЮЛЯ ПУКА ПУКА"
Наслаждайтесь )))) :ageblobcat:
@drq А кстати это на сервере что-то отключено или как? почему мастодон не переваривает OPUS? был бы очень кстати ибо более лучшее качество при весе как мп3 или даже меньше + оптимизирован для стриминга потокового
Bei den #mrmcd23 in Darmstadt gibt's ein #Minidisc-Meetup! Bringt eure Portables, Discs und sonstiges Minidisc-Gedöns mit und lasst uns ausprobieren, Discs tauschen und Musik hören. 💽 💽 💽
Samstag, 15.00-16.30, Wiese beim Physik-Container.
Okay, I'll tell you, but stop begging - it's embarrassing for both of us and everyone who's watching.
I've obtained a Limited Manufacture Licence for some iconic music tracks to be released as an album of #synthwave and #synthpop cover versions on #vinyl#cassette and #minidisc
Now I just need to find some interested artists to join me in this ridiculous endeavour.
