PC Link
Between 2002 and 2004 I used a PC link to make MiniDisc mixes. Here are some pictures of it in operation:
- Sony CMT-M100MD playing a Joy Division (LP2) compilation.
- Sony PCLK-MN10 USB link.
- An LP2 Cure compilation (which lacks Pornography!).
- An LP2 Damned compilation (and Trillian Pro in use).
- Titling a post-punk MiniDisc.
- Selecting recording (input) options. Note how cassette tape (since the M100D had one) is an option.
- Another editing shot.
Other media resources
Here are some other MiniDisc websites:
- MiniDisc.org - Acts as the reliable hub to the online presence of MiniDisc. Has been around for many years, and hopefully will for many more. The equipment browser is probably its most useful resource.
- T-Station - Long-running forums. Probably the best place to go with any question whatsoever. I've been a member since May, 2001.
- Peter Ravn's site - Hacks, tips and tricks on Sony MD units.
- Brian Youn's Reviews - Excellent in-depth reviews of past MD portables.
