On 2022-10-29, the ban on MiniDisc Recordings made after January 1, 2008 has been rescinded (no more ban). The main reason is that the ban made no sense in the first place as very few people can hear the difference with ABX testing.

One of the ABX tests published on the web:

Some discussion:

With that in mind, please don't make any new Minidisc recordings. PCM (WAV) recorders are inexpensive and there are apps for your smartphone that can make PCM recordings.

If you have any Minidisc recordings that were affected by the prior ban, you may now post them. You may want to add a link to this thread in your post.

Great, thank you, I didn't make the switch till March 2010 so there were a few of my recordings I couldn't share from 2008-9
