TDKMDC80 Minidisc 5PK

First the essential stuff:-You see five - you get five - not one of them as a different sellers listing cunningly baits.They are TDK originals and interms of quality of construction and performance they are the benchmarks.The set is colour keyed in five flavours for easy identification and include the obligatory cases and labels.I have been using a set solidly since August 2011. I have no issues of any description to report.The lens gates opens cleanly, the disks list and search perfectly, they play with clarity and no drop-outs.All supplementary functions such as uploading tracks and managing the table of contents and track order have been a breeze. In the most demanding situations they have proved to be utterly reliable.Now to the concept:-More than twenty years after MD was born but more importantly, more than 10 years after it was supposed to have died, MD still prevails. In a world awash with MP3 and slices APPLE everywhere this makes no sense at all. They have even taken the machines away from us and yet still a significant band of disciples follow relentless in the hope of a second coming. Why?What I add are the reasons, I bought these in preference to arming up any number of alternative devices I have lying around.First, because its hardware based, no boot-up issues, software conflicts to worry about - even occasionally.The buffer of a MD player is sufficient that it has read enough of the music upfront to keep you playing until a small earthquake stops, pushing it a margin ahead of CD other silver disc media that has never been recovered.Sound reproduction is compromised by the format, but so is MP3 and critically MD sounds less so.It comes down to this. Though you may convince yourself otherwise, anything with software in it is going to get you one day. It might only ever get you ONCE, but if that once is in front of 275 on a Saturday evening, mid-song YOU are not going to forget it long after THEY have.MD prevails not because of what it does, which was overtaken before some of you reading this were born. MD lives on because of what it won't do. Unless you abuse them, MD's just don't let you down.You can buy this product with confidence.

I love collecting all different colours and brands of minidisc so was very pleased to add these to my collection. Delivered on time and in good condition

I love these and tend to stick to this brand and particular item for recording music on my MiniDisc system. Completely chuffed to finally find some more after all these years.

The Good, tomorrow will be better, and never better.The facts prove me right, for so many different formats, both software troublemaker? when there is a system that really funcona, seamless and with some editing posobilidades, far beyond what you need in your daily musical escapades.It went on sale in 1992 and still in force today, not only in the hands of the nostalgic audiophiles, I know that many people to discover the "old format" excalman with admiration, without going too far, my 16 year old son, is caught and left with his mouth open "Mp3tianos" fellow sufferers.The MD has going for sound quality very far superior to any of the current compression systems, their sound has more body, more presence, more depth, more dynamic, better treble, mid and bass, if you listen to in a great team almost never disappoints, etc, etc.As someone said, I eagerly await the resurgence of this fantastic device.But I'm not a dreamer, so it touches is done with the greatest possible number of blank disks and still enjoy these wonderful recordings and collections that fans we're creating.

Difficult to find in stores these days, I still use the format for mixing and editing my own playlists. TDK is a good reliable brand.

I've always used minidiscs as my favourite recording item. Very useful for programmes done at my local hospital radio station! Can't buy the things in town anymore, so well done Amazon for having them in your outlet.

Who would of thought that within 20 years MD would be out of date.They work and there great.Mainly because you don't have to rewind them.

Quality TDK MDs. Good range of colours. Just what I wanted.
