tonyh29 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I had one of these A Minidisc player, but managed to drop it in the toilet, too bad because I've seen them for sale for quite a bit of money since : ( Yeah I made the jump to mini disc as CDs used to skip when I was running , despite the product advert having a woman bouncing around on a trampoline music skip free ... Tbf even the mini disc skipped now and then but then I got my first 64mb MP3 player and all my problems were solved ( other than having to change the music every day else the 14 tracks or so it held got a bit repetitive !! ) ( good old Sony even locked the tracks in those days so you had to check the file out from your PC to the MP3 player and couldn't play it on your PC until you checked it back in again , removing it from your MP3 player ..: thank God other companies joined the party and killed Sonys Neanderthal attempts That new Walkman looks quite nice but ultimately its one more device and seeing as my phone can do music , web and phone and more I think i shan't be bothering with one(even if this poxy Apple sound limit does drive me mad and make my music a few Dbs lower than I want it to be ) Edited January 6, 2015 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The discs to Hi-MDs were 1GB in size so a bit more space but I suppose you'd still have the problem with skipping and Sonic Stage is nusiance to use. The one I use now is just a Philips Gogear thing not great but I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I'd like to have a standalone music device. The last one I had was a touchscreen Samsung one. Sounds great and still works except for the screen which lasted about a year. I hate touchscreens.

Meath_Villan Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I googled. Generic football man. I say he shags her, that way he could at least get to have famous sloppy seconds. Yeah that was pretty gross. You are Rob / Meath, and I claim my £5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2015 I also had a mini disc. I remember having the choice at the time between plumping for a mini disc or going for these new fangled mp3 players. "Mp3 players will never take off" I foolishly thought. I loved that mini disc player... for about half an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 At the very end of The Jam, so about 1982 / 83 from memory?? They stayed at the hotel I was working at and they had a ghetto blaster / brixton briefcase. I was very very taken with this - and with the reggae tape that was constantly playing on it in the bar of the hotel that they'd taken over. At the end of the stay their roadie gave me the tape, plus a tip of about £60 (a month's wages for me back then). I went out and got me a big old Panasonic blaster, cassette player, big radio dial like the one above AND critically I took it apart and 'customised' it. Just like the Jam had done. Took off one speaker cover and wrote on the cone (as above), painted it, covered it in stickers and snapped a few bits off. Really kicked it about before I took it out. My mum went ballistic. Battery life made me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 oooooooh!!!!! tape to tape high speed dubbing Forgot all about tape to tape - I did have that at some point, but I don't think it was on that first one, as you say, it was probably around 2003 I got that one, 2 for 1 deal with my Betamax set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 the one Neil Young is launching, lol. Damn just looked on the Pono music store, the downloads aren't cheap 27 dollars for IV by Led Zep and 22 Dollars for Harvest, who's going to bother with that? As if Young hasn't got enough money.
