if i get a mini disc player can run one sound effect and then it will stop or will the disc keep playing

Depends on the minidisc player.

Check out the user manual. I know mine will continue playing unless there is some kind of setting.

the older mini disc players had an autopause function... which is the reason that i still have one laying around in my apt.... the newer ones dont have it as far as i know

Our Sony MDS-E10 has that function. It's a really solid MD deck, one rack space and pretty much anything you'd ever want in an MD deck. Heck, you can even plug in a keyboard to control the thing and name tracks!

You won't likely find that feature in any portable unit. They're aimed at a market that has absolutely no need for auto-cue. It's even hard to find it in decks these days. I try to avoid plugging stuff on here, but if you're looking to buy used, I know the shop I work at recently sold a couple, and probably wouldn't be opposed to selling a few more...tons in stock that rarely get used these days, since MD isn't as popular as it used to be. E-mail me and I can put you in touch with the sales guys.

It's not the answer to your question... but it might save you alot of $$.. I always put a 60 track of silence inbetween effects so I have a fail safe... it gives me plenty of time to pause whatever player I am using (Laptop or CD usualy) before the next effect plays. Sometimes the simplest solution is best!

ive been thinking of doing that i also want a mini disc because its easier to take than my laptop and the cd player thats at the theatre i work takes like 30 seconds to spin up and play an effect so ive worked with mini disc before and love it

Depends on Mini disk Player, Sony made a mini disk player that you could set to stop after each track. My Tascam 301MKII Does not do this, Sucks. Other wise you will have to record a longer lead-out at the end of each track.
