I'm a minidisc collector and continue to make mix tapes and copy CD's, records, etc. The cases are about 1/3 the size of CD yet big enough to make great art. Despite the appearance of the disc, it is a very different technology from CD and a single minidisc can be erased and re-recorded multiple times. I can re-arrange tracks with little effort, or add/eliminate single tracks. I'm making a Louis Prima mix tape as I type this.

I also have multiple recording decks from pro to esoteric. I have a lot of portables including field recorders.

In the age of streaming and digital players why do I do this? Joy. It's just fun and I enjoy very much listening to the final product. I love the thoughtful hardware and beautiful art that can be made to go with the discs.
