Do you think the music on a Mini Disk is safe enough?

I've got minidiscs recorded over 5 years ago, and they all still play perfectly, without a blip, and I've reused discs plenty of times... Maybe let you know in 25 years or so.

I'd say, keep your discs dust free, in their covers, treat them well and they'll (probably) last a lifetime.

Well, I haven't got a real brand preference, anything goes really: TDK (MD-C80YEA, RXG, XSiv), Sony Color series, Maxell XL-II 80. Haven't had a dud yet!

I think the cheapest disks from Memorex etc are best avoided due to their slightly shoddy build quality (of the case), though I have some of these for temporary recording and they seem fine.

The material for the disks themselves seems standard, and I believe there's no actual difference in recording quality between makes, depsite the claims.
