• 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.
