Would love to get my hands on some of the released music on MD. I remember visiting a B.B. in 1994 and seeing U2 and others with MD albums in retail packaging. That would be so cool to have. I have seen a few around on the net but $$$

Is there any advantage to it in terms of sound quality? Or are you just after it for the novelty/collectability aspect?joecoulson wrote: »Would love to get my hands on some of the released music on MD.

...maybe...

No real advantage to sound...its marketing was as a more compact method of carrying digital music.
The concept was great but it was just not pushed hard enough to become a mainstay. Plus the cost vs a regular CD was hard for most people to swallow at that point too. (Worked at Best Buy at the time)"Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

Novelty for sure. I know that my LP’s and hi res cd’s would always do better. Just love the technology.

I still use a Sony portable MD player and have a component MD player/recorder which I purchased directly from Sony.
When my local Target put the blank MDs on clearance, I purchased all of the blank MDs they had.
Occasionally, I will buy a pre-recorded MD off of eBay. It's more of a "curiosity" for me.

I have a Sony MX-R35 and a JVC XM-448
Both work flawlessly. But full disclosure, they are in my audio storage closet (with a bunch of other gear) not hooked up. Supppose I should but I don’t have room in my current furniture. I do love the JVC though. The remote is one of the most unique remotes I have ever seen. -
Just hooked these back up. Going to start recording the great music from internet radio streams on the CA.

I have a portable MD recorder thanks to the profound generosity of a MA-based audiokarma denizen. I keep meaning to use it for field recording of birds.
I guess nowadays folks use smart phones
