@matigo They’re very scarce & very/stupidly expensive. Any CDs I’ve ripped to MD is also on various Macs in iTunes/Music or on my various iPods anyway. That would make a lot of MDs available if they were ever needed.
@matigo Haven’t bought one for over 10 years. If necessary I could sacrifice existing ones. It’s a fully rewritable format.
Need to buy some superglue tomorrow. I’m giving my sister an old micro stereo system I no longer use. She needs a CD player and this has a good one that holds the disc in a near-vertical orientation. The problem is the spindle in the certre is loose & likes to come off when the CD is removed, I need to stick it down.
All she really needs is the CD capability but the alarm clock, AM/FM radio & MiniDisc recorder are also present. Everything works, even the remote control, the system hasn’t been used for about 7 years & is close to 18 years old. Before getting into iPods & Macs, I used MiniDiscs for my portable music listening.
This JVC UX-V9MD device has the ability to rip a CD to MD at twice the playing speed of the CD.
@matigo Don’t knock the Space Force! Since its formation there have been no alien invasions.
This USB-C gadget from hell brings back the worst part of USB-A.

Biggest bank in the country is closing & removing its tablet banking app, as used by iPads, no reason given. Former users need to download the phone app to use on their tablets because, as everyone knows, phone apps scale perfectly on tablets.
Wankers.
