 Facts
 

MiniDisc Players were first released in the late 1990's by Sony but were very expensive, over £300 at least. This meant they didn't really catch on until the prices started becoming lower in the 2000's. One reason for this may be the low cost / cheap minidisc players released by companies such as Aiwa and Sharp. Some things to currently look for in a minidisc players are,

  • Optical digital output to connect other digital equipment.
  • Sampling rate converter to filters out un-wanted sound signals.
  • 24 Bit AD converter
  • Hybrid pulse D/A converter
  • MD editing / recording functions. This allows you to divide / combine / move / erase / auto cut / undo.
  • On portable systems a jog proof technology is very useful.
  • Hi-MD allows upto 45CDs to be recorded to just 1GB MiniDisc.

Sony MZ-N710

This is a very good product for its price, it has a fast way to download songs from your computer to your minidisc it is called sonicstage. Also it sounds very good after all i think this a very good
product. I bought my player around two years ago, and I have to tell you that I'm 98% pleased with it. I think that this model is a fair price for the performance and build quality. The sound quality beats every low and medium grade MP3 player i've used by borrowing friends players.

Summary of MiniDisc Players

Hi-MD is a nearly complete revamping of the original Minidisc system. The most significant change is the introduction of Hi-MD media, which includes a new 1GB blank in the existing MD form-factor and a reformatting of existing MD media that doubles its capacity to 305MB. In addition, several important and long wished-for Minidisc capabilities have been incorporated into Hi-MD equipment.
