Would minidisc be too digital? The early walkman style MD's are silly money for the quality they deliver. Let's face it, they're going to be hipster flavour of the month sooner or later!

+1 for minidisc
I think most Sharp players had a DC cable. A lot also had an AA option, whereas most Sony had an add-on battery pack which is a bit more clunky.
At 8yo he'll be careful enough not to break the small portable players. Also the discs are robust and don't degrade like tape - I'd be wary of even buying cassettes now unless you were 100% confident of the source.

Good idea.
I guess it would come down to the recording procedure. I’d like to be able to record real time from, say youtube as well as a microphone.
I never had minidisc so I don’t know how they operate.
He’s careful enough to put on records in the living room.

Cool, thanks, bit spendy though. I thought cassette tapes was officially dead.
I’m after something that my 8yo son can handle, a physical media rather that streaming, compact and with ability to record the music he likes that is not released on vinyl.
