cdog46 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Given that the minidisc's future is kind of murky-what happens down the road when my portable recorder player no longer works? I had one of the first "sport models" which fell on the floor and no longer works. So I bought aMZ-RH-910 which I like quite a bit. I notice that a lot of people on this forum own more than one. After all-anything worth doing is worth over doing. But the fact of the matter is-I can only use one at a time.Should I have a spare one in case the I have breaks? I like this format and the media lasts. Should I buy a big one to take the strain off the portable unit.Comments, thoughts-invited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuge Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Don`t be afraid of buying ...Everythings which comes on Earth has to die one day whether it is humans ,Electronic etc ..So when MD will die in future something will definately substitute it ...Don`t worry ..

rayzray Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) everything i buy;; i buy by twos;; or fours;; for the fact that i have a back-up;; and piece of mind at night knowing that if i break one i have another instantly..but,, a BIG reason i have soooooo many decks and portable units is; i LEAVE all of them "Plugged-in";; AC/DC adapter;; line I/O's etc.. (i (rayzray) DON'T believe in plugging and unplugging units cause that's where the internal breaks and non-connectatives will happen.so, every unit stays with it's I/O couterpart.and, they "travel " less that way;; less chance of bumping it; droping it; squishing it; and losing/misplacing it.he who un-heeds my word ;; will probably have more problems than i do; *not mentally though*!!

jaylen Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 A lot of people (myself included) will buy players to reduce wear on their recorders. Check out this thread started by Nismo as to why some MD users have more than 1 unit. Maybe it will give you some ideas.Why do you have multiple recorders/players?And with e-tailers like Audiocubes or Minidisc Access or even Ebay still going strong, you shouldn't have any problems finding a replacement RH910 or similar.

ZosoIV Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I wouldn't be worried about not being able to get hardware or discs in the future. After all, wax-cylinder players from the 1890's can still be found on eBay, and 8-track tape players/recorders from the mid-70's to early 1980's are easy to come by. Of course, analog formats are simple in nature and therefore easy to fix, whereas a digital format such as MD might not be once the electronics are no longer available.....
