At first, I didn't know squat about minidiscs. After searching through Ebay's portable audio section and seeing a Minidisc player/recorder for the first time, I was intrigued and started searching the internet about these ingenious little machines. It seemed that I was almost always directed to this vast wealth of information known as The Minidisc Forums. So since November of 2005, I have become quite attached to these wonderful player/recorders and have added to my small collection the following: MZ-R70, MZ-N1, MZ-R500, MZ-NH600D(x3), MZ-NF810, MZ-NH700(Silver), MZ-DH10P, and last but not least, the magnificent MZ-RH1(Black). I can only thank the Ladies and Gentlemen of this forum for directing me to my favorite way of recording and listening to music for the last year and a half or so. CHEERS to MDCF ! !
