I got back into minidiscs a couple of years ago and I'm really enjoying the revival. Modern software exists to use the NetMD players with current computers and the software is actively growing in capabilities that never existed before.

A lot of md players have great DACs and headphone amps and sound great when paired with new headphones.

I love the convenience of streaming music but what md reminded me of was how much I used to enjoy making "mixtapes" to give as gifts. That blank minidiscs are available in a wide variety of colors and designs makes this even more fun.

Until recently, it was fairly inexpensive to pick up old md gear. Lately the prices are shooting up as more people get interested in md.
