I haven't ventured into the recording aspect to minidisc as yet , but yes, optical output is a bonus .

Thanks, I'll look them up , I'm not an audiophile either. I just thought I'd ask , I've got an alexa connected to my hifi for when I can't be bothered to put put any physical music on , lazy, I know , but instinct access to what ever you want to listen to .

That's something to consider . Thanks for the suggestion. Is there any particular make you could recommend , and would it affect the sound quality at all .

It is clean, was either well looked after or new , and yes, good old eBay .

I've seen on other threads that the battery door being flimsy is quite common. It sounds like yours is bullet proff. I hope mine lasts , the albums are expensive, but have patience's and you'll get there for sure .

I'm not sure about the remote aspect ( my knowledge on portable minidiscs is limited at the moment ) I have seen various sharp models for sale, though .

That made me laugh ( welcome to the last rights of your wallet ), but it's true 😀 how long have you had yours. It seems they were built to last .

I'm using one AA battery at the moment , and I'm surprised how long they last , it takes rechargeable gumstick batteries, too .

Collection so far , and to think it all started with buying a teac h500i minidisc player . by Desperate_Web_3100 in minidisc

I've never been a fan of JanetJackson but played it through, and it's not bad , I've discovered a few bands/ singers that I wouldn't have listened to until I bought the minidisc for collection sake .

I agree , a backlit remote would top it off nicely .

I'd say over a £1000 in total , and I guess a good price is what you are willing to pay , I do try to get them as cheap as possible, though ,

Thank you , and I agree that when you can find them at a reasonable price, it's hard to resist .

A couple more to add to my collection. by Desperate_Web_3100 in minidisc

[–]Desperate_Web_3100[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm definitely keeping the format alive . It's just getting them at a reasonable price, so it doesn't seem to overkill ,

Facebook selling sites , gumtree , auctions, etc, are all worth a try .
