Everyone:
Welcome to the first meeting of MD Users Anonymous.
My name is Chuck... and I still use MD. <<Hi, Chuck>>
After trying a lot of different ways to record my band (and f-ing it up about every way possible), in February 2001 I bought an old MZ-R50 off a guy who wasn't using it anymore and picket up a Sony ECM-MS-907.
When I was cleaning out my closet, I found (yet another) box of MDs from the last few years, so I got them all together and organized them. I have 130 MDs, including 70 discs of my old band Litmus, and 46 discs of Litmus rehearsals.
I thought I'd be finished with MD now that I have a much better rig, but it turns out that's not the case. I still use my 907 > R50 for recording rehearsals (it goes in a walkman-sized bag and fits in my bass's gig bag pocket easily) and for recording gigs where there are a bunch of assholes and I don't want to risk my rig.
I know MD gets a lot of bashing here, and there's no doubt that it's not the fidelity of DAT or NJB3, but don't forget that it's great as what it's meant to be: a super-cheap, super-simple, super-reliable "better-than-cassette-and-almost-CD" recording system.
