MD
« on: 28 January 2008, 20:49:21 »

I have loads of them, my head unit is fine, but I can't see any new ones.

Does anyone make MD players any more?

MD has gone the way of the VHS player... out dated and rubbish to begin with.

I never seen the point of a 'robust' media for inside a car.... i have a wallet full of mp3 cd's, which is just fine.

If i get really board there is an aux jack for the ipod.

I agree, MD is pointless as a copy of your CDs.  Its robustness may be useful for databackups though.  But OOF will stick to LTO tapes ;)

The Walkman is pretty good, I prefer it to an mp3 player as it lasts for ages on one AA battery, and sounds great through my Sennheiser PX100s.

The home deck - definately no QS but is over 7 years old and still works well. Car player is around 7 year old too.

I don't have a CD burner in my hifi, and being small are good for Walkman type players.

As to robust - I have an icecream tub of the things

I leave originals in the house, MDs are much easier to use in a car - don't have to polish off finger marks when changing them.

Also why make cassette head units then?

I bet most solid state MP3 players last better on similar batteries to portable MD players.
