bluecrab Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 61.First MD unit was the MDS-JE510/MZ-E40 bundle back around 1999, I think. I spent months trying to decide whether to go with CD-R, DAT, or MD. Finally, pretty much by just getting tired of trying to decide, I landed on MD and have been happy with it since, many decks and portables later. I did wind up with a couple of CD-Rs, too, but never got a DAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastagaman Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm 22, 23 next month...Got my first MD, a silver MZ-N707, when I was 16 or 17, don't remember exactly. We were only two in my class to have a MD, every one look at us as an Alien when I was ejecting a MD or changing for another one. It was the good old day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpsony Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) I'm 36. Bought my first MD unit (a silver Sharp MD-MT80 I still own) when I was 29 back in June 2001. I first encountered MD in early 1998 when I started as a volunteer reporter at a local community radio station. Nowadays, over five years after having omitted my active radio career due to limited spare time and changing interests, I use my MD and Hi-MD equipment mainly for recording shows off the radio.When it became obvious that MD was in danger of being phased out, I startedt collecting portable MD recorders.

flamaest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm 36 and have used MDs since the very first MDS-101 came out in 1991. I was immediately sold on the format and was able to convince my dad to buy me the MDS-101 home deck as a high-school graduation gift.Alas, I have a large MD collection, but have since moved on to other electronics/formats. I love my MDs however and will never parts with my MD toys.F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom in RI Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I am 52. I bought my son an MZ-R70 around 2000 or so. He never really used it much and I have it now. I bought my self an MZ-R700 in 2002, in advance of a week in the hospital (hip surgery). I just bought an MZ-NF610 on ebay and am looking forward to having the radio available when I go for a walk. I have around 1800 records and maybe 1000 cd's, I have maybe 30-40 minidiscs but I generally record 5-6 minidiscs with new stuff in advance of trips when I want to bring music with me. I listen mostly to jazz, blues, bluegrass and newgrass.For the past 5-6 years I have been downloading bit torrents (first from Sharingthegroove, now from Dimeadozen, TheTradersDen and Zomb) which has, in effect, replaced radio for me. Now I am swimming in cdr's. Would consider storing them on hard drives but I don't see hard drives as a good long term storage medium.
