MiniDisc never really caught on as a pre-recorded format, so very few
releases were ever made available as MDs.
In fact, Sony recently announced that they would no longer be manufacturing
pre-recorded MiniDiscs, and since they were the only place to get
pre-recorded MDs made, that has pretty much killed that aspect of the format.
It's still great for recording, though. I have a portable Sony from a few
years ago, and a desktop JVC MD/CD/radio unit that I have hooked up to my
computer which I use to record MP3s and other audio files.
Anyway, if you still have your heart set on getting some pre-recorded MDs,
pretty much all of the n5MD MiniDisc releases are good, and the Gescom MD
on Touch is interesting to play around with. Those are the only ones I can
think of off-hand, aside from a few major label releases that came out back
when the format was first introduced and that are probably long out of print.
