Minidiscs: Sony MD Walkman MZ-R70
Sony introduced the Minidisc in 1991. I was initially reluctant to use Minidisc recorders, for reasons I now cannot remember at all, perhaps cost. However, I eventually moved on to making recordings using a Minidisc MD Walkman MZ-R70. I am not sure when I bought mine, but I believe it was soon after this model came out which was January 2000.
Sample: Smriti pronouncing Hindi vowel sounds, ca.2001.

The one limitation which was very irritating with this generation of MD Walkmans was that you could not download recordings from it to a computer in any other way than via an analog audio cable connection. But as I was used to this from editing recordings from the WM-D6C I did not think much of it.
