miniDisc is a good sweet spot i think. its something physical but not as bulky as a cassette player
if you get one that has netMD support then you can transfer new music onto it just like it was a usb drive. there are even chrome websites that will let you do this so you dont have to install any software
theres also the compression modes where you can fit either 3 or 5 hours worth of music on one disc so you could easily make do with just 1 or 2 disks if you were going out somewhere for the day
I’ve seen videos of netMD. Do I need special drivers for the OS too?
The main issue I have with buying one is that even when the ad says that it’s fully tested and working. I contact them and they haven’t actually tested recording.
I have a Sharp MD Studio (great for recording and editing) and a Sharp portable. They don’t record anymore so I imagine it’s a common problem.
