ohyesbaby Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hello,masters. I am a new one here and I would like to hear some advices from you.I bought my MD about 3 years ago and I really love it. I bought about 50 blank discs and used all of them. However, I do not know how long a portable MD player normally lasts. Therefore, I tried hard not to use it too frequently recently. The worse thing is that I can hardly get a portable MD player in US now. The other issue is if I should stick to MD format? I like it very much however it seems that its creator SONY already abandoned it. I am struggling now... I am thinking to get a Sony MDS-JE480 recently. That one is the only one that I can find in US stores. Anyway, just want you tell me if my 3 years old machine can stay another 3 years if I only use it to play back for upto 2 hours everyday. And if it is worthy to buy that Sony deck?Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 My young padawan ,...... The Source is with you , and May your MD last for your progeny . My R50 Lasted 10 years of abusive use ( Not physical abusive , just Over usage) Ther are ways of getting a portable if your willing to accept conditions , and many here would help ( including me ) Shipping from other countries can be a little expensive , so that would fall upon you to recprocate or , be able to trust and pay in advance . #1 , Know what you want , what model or Model's , and condition , "Used" has catagories. There is also New , or "New to You " #2 , be Patient and willing to cooperate , The MD community is fairly Tight knit among certain members , who act as Vangaurds of the community . #3 , Partipate in the Board , so that members can know you and would therefore be more willing to assist . That being said .............. I Introduce "Hardoff" http://picasaweb.google.com/strungup66/Hardoff Have a look . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 You can also look at ebay and related sites. There is quite a lot of MD activity out there, don't be afraid to use what you got, and also to get more, this is not a bad addiction'Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohyesbaby Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 thanks a lot, Guitarfxr. It seems that I have to "import" players using pricejapan.com or ebay.com. That must be the cost of liking something that is not so-called main stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
