This is a parker IM I've had in my collection a while. I don't usually go for Parker branded pens. I usually find them a bit boring/vanilla. But when I saw this one come up pristine on Ebay, I thought I'd give it a go.

It looks nice, but sadly it doesn't seal well. There's a hole under the clip that lets air in. Why? I guess I could try to cover it.

Thanks for replying. I was surprised just to see someone still had a player. I also recorded all my own discs since commercial releases weren't really available here in the USA. Sadly my player hasong since disappeared.

It's not too late to get involved: https://www.minidisc.wiki/

Discs themselves are getting harder to find sadly.
