The Sony "car" 6 disk MD player MDX-65 will relay play across all 6 disks. need a Sony Head unit or Unilink controller though. That's something that looked odd to me, and that seems to be in the Sony's stupid-non-practical-non-consumer-thinking that stigmates the minidisc format

I haven't tried labeling the spine yet...too small. I considered using colored discs to keep track of what type of music was on the disc, but decided it would be too cumbersome. What I do is print a label using a Word Processor and an Avery label sheet. I put the disc title on it...rarely

I think it's rather that the motor spin-up time is slower. Motor speed itself would not seem to have a direct relation to power consumption. On the Sharp MD-MT831 the top end motor RPM (400-1350rpm) is actually higher than on mainstream units (400-900rpm), I've always assumed this was to

Hi. You might be surprised how many people outside of Japan have no idea what a mini disc is. I meet many people who, when I mention MD, claim they know what I am talking about. But it soon becomes obvious they haven't a clue. Mini discs are never going to main stream outside of Japan.

If you want digital out, you have to go with a deck. However, most of them don't have mike inputs, so you will need a preamp too, unless you can find one with a mike input. Are you gonna record in stereo or mono? I see you only mentioned one mike and didn't say what it was. Ian Champ wrote:
