Similar situation to mine. I bought a nice Sony (natch) minidisc player/recorder
last year for mastering music onto. The sound was good, but slightly 'hard'. In
fact, in many ways I preferred the warm tape sound of my old four-track.

But a couple of months ago I got a CD-R and haven't used the minidisc since.
Will probably sell it actually. Anyone interested? It has a cool car converter
that you plug into your cig lighter socket plus a box of blank minidiscs.
