While we’re on the topic of Vinyls, I was going through my grandmother’s old records, and most of them were around £2.50 each. The price of them nowdays is mad.
Yeah. I bought a new release album for a friend and it was double the price of the CD.
Minidisc would be my preference if I still had a unit that records. Old albums for that go for around €90-100 (which is why I would need a record function).
miniDisc is a good sweet spot i think. its something physical but not as bulky as a cassette player
if you get one that has netMD support then you can transfer new music onto it
just like it was a USB drive. there are even chrome websites that will let you do this so you dont have to install any softwaretheres also the compression modes where you can fit either 3 or 5 hours worth of music on one disc so you could easily make do with just 1 or 2 disks if you were going out somewhere for the day
EDIT: actually on second thoughts its not really like a USB drive where you can just drag and drop files, it has to convert them to some format so it can take a minute
I’ve seen videos of netMD. Do I need special drivers for the OS too?
The main issue I have with buying one is that even when the ad says that it’s fully tested and working. I contact them and they haven’t actually tested recording.
I have a Sharp MD Studio (great for recording and editing) and a Sharp portable. They don’t record anymore so I imagine it’s a common problem.
oh yea, you have to install a driver manually as well, just follow the instructions here
then this is the page where you can manage the tracks https://web.minidisc.wiki/
when you say recording do you mean recording live audio or just “burning” tracks to the disk?
