Where can I buy MiniDisc players?

[geestring]

does FS or Bestbuy even sell minidisc players anymore?

i want one with mic line in

[cubalis]

try minidisco.com

They have great customer service and a good selection.

[geestring]

I don't think (m)any stores sell them anymore, i had 3 of them and loved them, i still have 10 blank disks. I haven't seen them recently, try ebay, you could probably get one cheap.

[geestring]

those sites sell them...

yea.. they're still somewhat popular for the Mic-line in...

and Hi-MD is a newer format...

[geestring]

so is minidisc-canada.com legit.?

is it 2 legit? 2 legit 2 quit?

[zerocool24]

well my iriver ihp-120 has a line in as well. i wasnt talking about sites selling them, as i am sure there are quite a few that still do, i was talking about being able to walk into best buy or future shop (in your original post) or many other electronic stores for that matter and being able to buy as being not very likely.

You can buy mine, I don't want it :P

[geestring]

i went to the Sony store and they dont have the model that i wanted in stock...

[kingsley]

why don't you get MP3 ones? Or do they not hold enough?

[geestring]

like which ones? Hi-MDs are really popular with concert recorders....
and the quality of the recordings are good...

what would be equivilent in quality with a Mic line in... flash based players?

i would assume they are very expensive..

i also have one that is sitting in my closet gathering dust. Not to mention I have many blank Mini-Discs, hardly used.

I will check the model number when I get home. If you are serious about buying, let me know.

[geestring]

hmm i guess used is an option... but the newer hi-md sounds attractive... plus i can use it as a normal audio player...

seems to me people are offering they're used ones to me saying they have "line in" doing my research the ones offered dont... a microphone line in i need...

[ji2o0k]

yup, mine has the Mic In/Line in jack...........

[ah bao]

still have mine and it's sounding great... never really got a mp3... was tempted by the nano... but i like changing the md's, it looks cool when doing it.. :cheesygri

[ckang008]

I also have a MD Player. the NZ-N1 NetMD player from Sony. the word "walkman" is a bit wear out but the player is fine. Can record up to 32 times the speed.
PM me if you are interested
I'm in vancouver next week and back in edmonton the following week so if you are local, we can meet

[musicman]

I bought my MZ-RH10 from ebay ship direct from Japan but kind of expensive though I paid around $ 400 Cad, but he put down as a gift so I don't pay any taxes handling fees. :cheesygri if you need more info about MD please feel free to send a PM. Good luck.

[bubble.tea]

OMG...that is so ridiculous nowadays.

[Canadianpsycho]

I've got a Sony MZ-N505... No MIC in, but Line in.

http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-N505.html

Never use it anymore. Decent shape, signs of usage with some dust in the LCD but it worked fine last time I used it. $25 shipped OBO. No headphones, but I think I have everything else that came with it. Can take pics if needed.

Last time that I went (about a month ago) Costco was selling black MZ-NE410's. They were pretty cheap as well, around $60 I believe, but then again, the MZ-NE410 is the most basic NetMD.

[chut7]

I just bought an NE410 off ebay for under $20 US, after shipping. I've been bidding on almost every MD recorder for almost three weeks to be able to get this deal (in no hurry :) ). That model is good enough for me..I have two older recorders that have mic/line in already, so I just needed the NE410 for titling the discs from the computer.

Best bet is to see if anybody is selling locally, and pay cash to save on shipping.
