I have owned many MANY personal audio devices in my short life. I've owned 3 casset players, about 4 cd players, and one md player. 2 of the CD players I've owned had sony's clamed "G-protection" but guess what? THEY SKIP still, if they are hit hard enough they skip. I've also owned 2 panasonic shockwaves, one metal, and both with VMSS. Yes cool, but like all other cd players they are bulky, skip and don't provide alot of power from the batteries.
Once I got my MD player, it changed the way I listened to portable audio. I could record off anysource, and with MDLP I could use LP 2 to fit twice the music on to one MD without losing ANY sound quality.
You say that you can't listen the MD onto anything? well If you don't have the money to buy a deck for your home theater, just buy a mini-plug to RCA adapter, and plug it from your Minidisc players' line out.
The battery life of the minidisc is ALSO much better. from ONE aa battery the average player now can give you 35-40 hours life. then the rechargeable battery's life is also around that and only takes 3.5 hours to recharge.
MD's here only cost me about 2$ CND which is twice as much as a CD. But with MDLP they can hold up to 4X the music with LP4, sacrificing some sound quality, and 2X with LP2, without sacaraficising any quality. AND you can rewrite MDs, erase tracks, move them, name them.
Also most MD players casing are made of metal, not some cheap plastic. The newer ones which are super light use alumium-magisium compunds to form the case.
MD players are also SMALL, tiny compared to CD players.
Minidiscs are way stronger than CDs and are rewriteable, blank minidiscs are cheaper than cd-rws here (in canada)
On to Mp3 players, THEY SUCK. Limited memory, can't record off ANY source except from the USB port and it's built in mic. They eat batteries like nothing.
In the end I think Minidisc Will dominate the market. It already has in Asia, CD audio is almost dad in Asia. MD has takenover.
