i first bought my daughter a minidisc i think late 90s or maybe earlier it was a sharp sr75 she didnt want it so i kept it used it for a while then later someone bought me a sony mz-9510 then started to use mp3 but every 1 i had broke i have an ipod but use that only in the car i dug out my minidisc today cause wanted to put them onto pc which is why i found your site.. i still have both minidisc players and the sharp still works as good as new... i prefer them to mp3 players anytime
