Upgraded my Minidisc set up to 2021 with a TX/RX Bluetooth dongle set with Spif in and out. Works pretty well for TX. Haven't tried recording from it yet.
Anyone else also making album / playlists of the week with their MiniDisc recorders? #minidisc
Actively listening to music through a minidisc player almost gives the same joy as listening to Vinyl records. To me, it's the next best experience and it's fully digital.
Discovering the excellent German band "Die Ärzte" only today - I have been living here ten years - after finding a live album on one of the mini discs I got second hand. #music #minidisc #germanpunk #funpunk
Note to self: don't buy second hand Maxell Twinkle #minidisc s. These are not made to withstand the test of time with a flimsy port cover and are made of very brittle plastic.
MiniDiscs that I haven't had issues with yet: Sony Neige, Emtec Maxima, Dark Blueish and Red Sony ones (I call these the BladeRunner themed ones)
So effective to be able to listen to and record my favorite music using #Minidisc. And it works completely _offline_ too.
Enjoying recording my music to #MiniDisc and listening to the music on my Sony MZ-R500 from 2001. The original iPod was released in 2003. Who is still listening to music on their first iPod devices today?

I'm enjoying listening to music on my re-discovered #MiniDisc players. Pop in the disc, press play and listen to about 150 minutes of your own music in clear digital quality.
And it all works offline and no need for recurring subscriptions and disappearing tracks, when the streaming site decides to no renew their licenses.
