As those of you following my MP3 Audio thread are aware, I've recently gone out and bought an MP3 player. Thinking even more, it's made me wonder if it's worth the hassle to bother keeping MiniDisc equipment around anymore. Once the time-consuming task of ripping all my CDs onto my PC's hard disk is done, it's simply a case of sending tracks to the player when I want to hear them and ripping the odd new CD I buy. It also means that unlike MiniDisc. I no longer need to record everything to a different medium - which takes a while with 550+ CDs. MP3 is also convenient for background listening. I never used the NetMD function on my current portable (due to the checking in/checking out music hassle and the general unstability of the software). The seperates deck is used mainly as a recorder and the other portable (a Sharp) is simply used down the gym. I'm seriously considering selling my two portables and single seperates deck. What do you guys reckon? Is it a wise decision.
