They still make minidisc recorders and I like them as there is nothing as simple
to use and you can get 320 mins on a 80 min minidisc. There is HD but it didnt
take off in the uk and so the disks are expensive.
Minidisc has suffered with the ipod and is not researched anymore and is
starting to get harder to find disks for. It is however used by journalists and
radio stations and so like beta max will stay around for along time yet.
I would recommend mindisc but beware you may have to buy online and so isnt as
convenient in an emergency.
