  1. I just tested out this online creator for making front and back MiniDisc jewel case inlays.  It is fairly basic but allows you to add a cover photo, text for artist, title and track details in many colours as well as selecting background colours from a decent sized pallete.

    This has seemingly appeared on the internet only recently and produces basic covers using a good set of MiniDisc templates. 

    Well worth a look if you're after a simple way of producing inlay cards for your discs.

    ​Thanks , Jimma :-) Great !

  2. Hi all.

    I agree with what is written before me.
    The 74 sounds better of 80 min; (in fact the only REAL professional mds are 74 min) l ' 80 min has a longer access time compared to 74 min.
    Many mds cheap, after 10 years, have a disconnect of the shell; more frequently:
    maxell cheap, Sony Prism 1° version,TDK color european version.
    For me the best as resistance are the Axia.
    The magnetic media was produced from my research (see article) only from 5 different factories; all variants of many brands were commissioned at these factories.
    I hope I have helped you.
    A good day at all.
  3. A warm greeting to all, my friends
    I have started to change both my sites, minidisc site I changed some photos, added others, improved the English (I hope) and added additional descriptions.
    In crazy for minidisc, among other photos will be added in the next month, I have started to add data on brand and description of the blank.
    New: I'll add the rarity of blank described.
    I started with Avox Evo and some Axia.
    This work will require several months, (this is not my main job) and I ask your opinion if you feel it can be more useful to all of us, fans of minidisc.
    A nice day to all.

  5. A survey; I want an opinion on ease to view my photos on my sites; I'd be willing to downsize and most importantly to optimize my images for the web.
    I wanted to know if you have problems uploading the images, and then if you feel are too "heavy".
    Any advice is welcome.
    A nice day to all

  6. Zo, I share your opinion; I guess the amount of rare minidisc which were thrown in the Trash because "obsolete".

    ...... and if we assume a couple of "homeless" look for in the garbage of Tokyo and Yokohama?

    Consumerism in Japan I think is unimaginable levels; I wrote to TDK Museum to get updates about Bit Club; they no longer know even what they are.
    After my letter there have been 15 hits to my site from the city where is located the "TDK Museum"
    A nice day to all
  7. n.o.s.  = New old stock

     

    I have six five packs of these unopened, 80 minute variety as well.  I have often wondered their true value.  It all depends on what the market will bear, I have not seen too many for sale in the last couple of years.  There was someone selling 25 packs on eBay.com a couple of years ago for 180 USD, that seemed a little steep to me at the time.

     

    They are definitely nice blanks, in my opinion the nicest Sony blanks I own.

     

     

    Are really nice ES.

    1 or 2 edition?

     

    In japanese market you can buy a lot of mds sealed at 1 euro / each; aside rare MDs, really limited edition or rare brands, the only " high price " MDs are ES; i ve seen a 5 - 74 pack, don t remember if 1 or 2 edition, sell at 30 $.

    A nice day to all

  8. Site I've always used is MD Channel:

    https://picasaweb.google.com/minidisc.channel

     

    Has the timelines too.

     

    Between the two sites, these are pretty much all the MD's ever made (with a couple of other early brands not listed).

     
     
    Hi,
    I just point out one thing; the minidiscchannel site is a collection of photos of almost all mds that have been produced.
    Probably many photos were taken from the web.
    My two sites are based on items that I own; the photographs are in high resolution to see the details of both the machines and the blanks.
    The philosophy is completely different,
    Many of the photos on the minidiscchannel website, have been taken from my site with my approval.
    Unfortunately I can't finish my collection; the minidisc has presented a flat electroencephalogram in 2006 and the heart has stopped beating a few years later.
    Find rare blancks. it is increasingly difficult.
    A nice day to all
    Sergio
