I have decided to join many people in their decision to use MiniDisc Players.

I am a bit strapped to cash so I am looking to a MiniDisc player for under £80, but preferably about £60.

I have looked on Amazon, Argos, Currys, Dixons and all that and I couldn't find one in my price range.

Can anyone help?

Try Richer Sounds - although the only MD player I have seen in this price range is a Goodmans. If you can stretch to £90 I htink it is, you can get a nice Aiwa Net MD recorder.

Hope this helps!

I would like a recorder as well. I have seen a good Sony one for £80/90. I may go with that. But there are two Richer Sounds near me so i'll check that out. Cheers.

just a quick question.

if a minidisc player is not a recorder does that mean you cant put music from your computer onto the minidisc?

stupid question but o well.

Plus, can you check out these four players and give me your opinions?

There are some MD units (at least this Aiwa that I'm aware of) that don't offer a record function through digital/analogue inputs, but will allow transfers through a PC. The Argos site says something like 'Records only from PC'.

Personally, I would not advise getting this type of unit - having the flexibility of recording in realtime is very useful. I'd stick with Sony, and get NetMD if possible.

i ended up getting a Sharp MD-MT80H. It was £70, reduced from £180 as it was one being shown in the store. They also gave me a couple of minidiscs free. I was going to get the Sony one but they were out of stock.
