Please read this

(At the bottom of the page the link to all the pages )

Once upon a time .........................

The MiniDisc (MD) is an obsolet magneto - optical disc-based data storage device for 74 minutes and, later, 80 minutes, of digitized audio or 1 gigabyte of Hi-Md data.

The Sony brand audio players were on the market from September 1992 until March 2013.

MiniDisc was announced by Sony in September 1992 and released that November for sale in Japan and in December for the USA and Europe.

From Wikipedia

This site does not intend to substitute for other sites / forums on the same topic that lists technical features or solutions to problems related to the use of the minidisc as sound support; the intention is to follow the story over the decades (only two) of portable machines and blank media that have been produced in these years.

This site is set up with two chapters, History of portables and History of blanks.

ln both an excursus is carried out among the most significant models of those years and it is possible to follow the evolution over the years.

All my collection of Portables and Blanks can be found in the "All my portables" and "All my blanks" folders.

The images are all from my personal collection of minidisc; many people have download my image to share it on other sites of MDs.

Please, don't do the same, for respect.

The site is not complete, i m working on it !

I hope this will be useful for fans of MDs Any help for this website is welcome. The minidisc is starting on the road of oblivion;

Google search: minidisc 8.730.000 pages, Iphone 3.290.000.000 pages.

I would like this site to keep alive this beautiful object.

A warm greeting to all to be here.
