You would know if you were a kid in the late 70's/early 80's.

By mini-disc albums, do you mean 7" vinyl? Or do you mean those 3-1/2" CD disks that need an adaptor to play?

:confused:

Didn't hear that about Riot Act, I don't see why they would release it on an all but dead media. They do vinyl because it has sentimental value and the fans love it, Minidisc just never caught on.

BTW, how much did you pay for those 4?

edveder9 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 10, 2004 4:13 am

yeah i mean i know what bettamax is.. I thought you were referring to something else like a web site.......

Yeah i know Minidisc never caught on... But I have a mindisc player that I use to work out with and I like it.. First of all it was alot cheaper than an Ipod..(Apple Sucks) or Mp3 player... second of all PJ put their albums on it so I want it!! :lol:

The only sites I've been able to find them on are the UK sites....Sony use to have it on their site a few years ago... but no more....

and for cltaylor12 here is a link so you can veiw a minidisc album..

I paid 20 bucks for all four albums!! So I figured that wasn't a bad deal....

MDs werent marketed well at all in the states. supposedly, if you travel to europe and some asian countries, they sell competitively with mp3 players. i had the n910 but recently sold it to a kid in canada in favor for an HD player. true audio geeks favor MDs because of sound, battery life, and recording capabilities. i remember seeing PJ MD's at bestbuy before, but ebay is probably your best bet.

dont know how current this is, but this international seller claims to have LO2L on MD. http://www.atomicsounds.co.uk/albumzzz_minidiscs.htm

also, you can probably inquire about it here: http://www.minidisct.com/forum/index.php

its a great community for MD users.

Thanks for posting the link to that minidisc board. I have a minidisc recorder and I love it.

I still don't understand why they don't do cd's like they do MiniDisc.. You never have to worry about them getting scratches.. Because there is a cassette type case that encloses the actual mini CD!!! Make sense to me.Just make it big enough to hold a regular CD..... Regular CDs just scratch way to damn easy!!!!

yes. they scratch and then people buy more or they buy stuff to fix the scratches.

they didn't release anything after binaural. I don't think anyone really releases pre-recorded MDs anymore anyways.

If you really need PJ on minidisc, just copy it on there from the CD.

why don't you just copy it from CD? Or do you really want the packaging etc?

I've got VS. and No Code on MD. There is nothing after Binaural and I believe that the UK is the only place left that even has a minidisc. I agree with you though. I love my MD. In fact, I just upgraded to a Hi-MD. For those that make the Beta comparison, Beta actually had better picture and sound.

Hey dude,

I just got a HI-MD recorder a few weeks ago and a 1 gig blank disc. I can squeeze 45 albums on one disc and the battery lasts forever. I would recommend one over an i-pod or mp3 player cos they sound so much better and you can easily edit them.

What do you think of Atrac 3 vs. Mp3?

I guess it depends on the bitrate of the Mp3..

Yeah i've seen that website before but I don't think it's really been updated since 2003.. Because it's missing a few albums and DVD's..

Yeah I could just copy my albums to MD but I just wanted their albums more for a sentimental value.. Plus I just think it's cool..

Plus I own all the albums in every format except cassette...I have CD, Vinyl and now MD.. I only have Ten and the first pressing of VS. (five against one) on cassette... Who knows I might get some desire to collect those too.. Heck i just noticed that Riot Act was available on cassette so why not MD..
