Introduction
I love my MiniDisc player, but unfortunately, I am spoiled by wireless headsets! I decided to remix a cradle for my Sony MZ-NF610 and turn it into a case that holds some commercial-off-the-shelf parts to add Bluetooth functionality, while retaining 3.5mm output.
It's not exactly pocketable anymore, but it can rest on a desk while you walk about, or inside a bag or cargo pants.
Required COTS Parts

- YMOO Bluetooth 5.3 Audio Adapter - (Amazon)
- UGREEN Headphone 3.5mm Y-Splitter - (Amazon)
- 3.5mm Audio Cable - Male to Male [0.5 ft] - (Amazon)
- 1x M2 x 6mm Flat Head Screws - (Amazon)
This case works best if you have a charger cable.
- MyVolts 3V Power Supply for Sony MZ-NF610 MiniDisc Player - (Amazon)
- I had previously bought a USB offering, but it seems like MyVolts no longer sells it.
