Honestly, all the answers are on this site, I've lost count of the number of threads of this type started recently. I just wish the taping guide was anywhere close to finished!

When you've spent a few hours researching the wealth of infomation on this site, if you have any further questions, please come back with specific questions stating:

-Stealth or open?
-Budget?
-Type of mic pattern (omni / card etc)

Minidisc, while very small, is not the most versatile of recorders to use.
