Levanel Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Myself, I've got close to 150, a third of them blank. They encompass various styles in music as well as different designs/styles of the MDs themselves. I've got 5 HiMD's and a few more regular MDs that use the HiMD format. I'm pretty adamant about converting my entire collection to HiMD, even though it provides more storage for standard MDs.

Levanel Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 A few years ago, I surpassed 100 but then traded half of them away. But since them, I've been slowly accumulating more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 probably have about 300, 1/3 at work, a few in the car, and the rest at home, always looking for the deals that give their discs away with the units, find some neet music that way too.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 About 100 std and 40 HiMD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levanel Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 What about HiMDs? Do you use ATRAC3plus (at 132Kbps) or regular PCM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippeb Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have about 400 MD's and less than 10 Hi-MD's. I use legacy formats, supported by my MDS-W1 decks for defragmentation and duplication. I backup all my MD's and store copies in different locations, 800km apart (used to be 10000 km !).

KHA Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have about 100 MD and 15 HI-MD.I use HI-MD to rec on PCM for classic music from CD's, or for big compilations from 7 Movie soundtracks albums.I think PCM is really cool for music that diserve some special treatment, the music you are fond of. I don't think anyone may record all his/her albums in PCM > 100 HI-MD by exemple lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 About 500 standard and 60 Hi-MD, mostly recorded on. About half of the standards are LP2, the rest in SP. Mostly 352kbps for the Hi-MDs, the others atHi=SP. Nothing in PCM as it takes too much disc space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 1.5 metres minidiscs.some of them hi-md (pcm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShriDurga Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Looks like we've found one defining feature of an MD user at the end of the MD age, a person with a huge collection of discs. Count me as one of those with about 500 standard MDs. I have at present only 7 Hi-MDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kino170878 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I used to have 400 or so standard MiniDiscs, and two dozens 1Gb MiniDiscs, but since I've found PCM to sound more natural, I sold all my standard MiniDiscs and am since only accumulating 1Gb MiniDiscs.So five dozens blue MD's or so only right now; I need to order way more asap, my HDD needs to offload quite some albums...!I wonder why you think the gap between Standard MD and PCM is so great that it justifies choosing the latter for exclusive use? Do you listen to difficult acoustic material where Atrac is perhaps weak?If I had to use Linear PCM - and I have considered it - along with 1gb discs then I'd probably need to buy hundreds of expensive discs. Is it really worth the time, hassle and money to do that in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian10161 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I only have about 30 standard MD's. I just ordered a 30 pack of em online. Still waiting for 2 players to come in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
