Just found this! Who misses these?

[conanthewarrior]

I just found this in my draw, brings back a lot of memory’s, and the battery is still working! God knows how.

Have some strange mix tape in there at the moment, but who remember mini disc?

I’m not even sure if I could transfer songs to it now, but was proud as it could do the 4 times length- at a lower bit rate but made me happy it could hold that much music on one disc!

Think I am going to use this as long as there is still a way to transfer. I could use the studio and record through line in but that means playing the whole thing to record and hope it doesn’t clip or go wrong:

Anyone else found anything that’s made them smile lately from years before?

That’s a nice one you have there

I have a few discs not many- I had a look they are well expensive to buy now the blank ones!

I found the software disc for it, something called sonicstage. If I recall correctly it doesn’t run now, so I will be looking for an alternative.

I hope with all the love for things retro tech means I can find something someone has made.

I didn’t know that was a possible way of doing it lol, what model PlayStation did you need to do that? As I have the PS1,2 and 4.
My 3 got stolen when I broke up with my ex, the people who bought my clothes round nicked it.

What brand are they and would you be willing to sell them? As I can only find 2 others and fancy a bit of minidisc fun for a while

Oh no, do you have any idea what’s up with it? If it’s possible to get a replacement part and I am capable I would gladly replace it for you mate
