Yeah... the Memorex's have been particularly fragile in my experience, and
generally unreliable under high-vibration recording conditions and
high-impact storage and playback environments... I tend to make bootlegs of
techno shows where the recorder gets bumped significantly, and I've found
that Sony discs give me the fewest skips. Also, I listen to discs in a
Sharp '702 that rides in my jacket or backpack pocket, and I also store
discs there... they suffer a great deal of throwing around and dropping in
an average day on campus. For me, the Sony Onyx and color collection discs
are the most reliable. I've found that the metal shutters on the Hi-Space
discs tend to get dented or bent, making them difficult to slide, whereas
the thin, flexible plastic shutters that are on the Sony's return to their
original shape after deformation and are *extremely* durable.

And for your application... for someone who handles their discs carefully,
Hi-Space is probably a good bet... another question: does anyone have
experience with the Axia discs from MiniDisco.com? The ones from Japan
that have Hello Kitty or other cool designs on them? My girlfriend just
purchased a 722 and is trying to figure out which discs to purchase.
