I actually have three commercially released MiniDiscs:
1)Pearl Jam - "Yield"
2)the Rolling Stones - "The Best of the Rolling Stones, Jump Back"
3)Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
I got them in a lot of other junk at a thrift store
I also have eleven home recorded discs (not recorded by me)
I have never SEEN a mini-Disc player.
But a friend (who has a minidisc changer in the trunk of his Lincoln Mk8)
was fascinated by my CD changer, a Sony CDX-757MX 10 disc unit
and the fact that it plays mp3 CD's...
I have a couple of disc magazines (I have TWELVE XA-250 magazines at last count)
filled with 160kBit/sec mp3CDs and those discs play for just under 12hours each.
Frankly I can drive to wyoming and back, and leave the stereo running
(even when I stop to sleep) and It won't finish before I get home.
Put that sucker on shuffle and....
with the "right" 10 mp3CD's I can basically listen to the same
ten discs for several months. and if I do get bored I can change
the magazine in a few seconds.
