Minidisc player information

MP3 players are a better choice for most people. Because there are so many models available, you can find a capacity and price to fit any budget. See our report on MP3 players for more.

MiniDisc.org is one of the best sites for MiniDisc enthusiasts. There are sets of frequently asked questions, forums and news. In addition, this site tries to acquire old stock, so it's a good place to try if you want a discontinued model. The downside is that the information here is quite technical, so novices may be fairly confused. Still, MiniDisc.org is THE reference site for the technology:

The alt.audio.MiniDisc group available at Google Groups is a great forum for enthusiasts. Questions posted here are almost always answered, and this is a good place to explore if you have a specific concern or problem:

While it's not as busy as the other two, the Audio T-Board, which bills itself as the "Internet's friendliest audio board" includes lots of MiniDisc discussion, including subforums dedicated to MiniDisc equipment and Hi-MD and NetMD: http://www.audiotstation.com/forum/index.php
