Everything Minidisc!

My main setup used to be the MZ-N910 Net-MD capable recorder (release year 2003). Now, after the cable connecting the front panel to the main board died, I've bought a MZ E700 player for playback and another MZ-N910 for recording purposes (my original player has stopped recording MDs).
To record I previously used SonicStage on a WYSE thin client running Windows 7 Embedded, but the SSD died in it, so I had transitioned to using a WinXP VM. Nowadays I either use a Win 7 Fujitsu mini PC or my Acer Aspire One Win XP netbook. Not a fan of the new programs and websites, as they don't size up to how beautiful SonicStage is. It seems many people don't like it, but personally I love the way it works. Perhaps the only downside is the copy protection, but even 3rd party programs can't download music without a RH-1, or risking the TOS or even player. And it looks like the LP2 quality is inferior to that of SONY, so I'll keep using it for my mixes.

See below a photo gallery of interesting discs in my collection and other related stuff.
