The best format. Too bad it didn’t catch on

I still use my mini disk stereo in my workshop, I’ve music that I’ve only got on this format

Worked like a champ when I used to run a front of house sound board; much better than cassette for bootlegs. Only downside was copying a mini disc meant another round of uncompressing and then recompressing the audio and as I recall ATRAC was a little lossy.

I bought an MD deck in a sale when MD had just been discontinued. It cost about a third of the original price and there was a coupon for a free MD Walkman in the box, but it had expired about a week before. You were supposed to send a copy of your receipt as a proof of purchase so I scanned it in, backdated and printed. :) Got my free Walkman in the mail two weeks later

Even though it was nerf'd due to licence holders being chicken, it was great until flash storage got cheap enough.

Disagree.

Go on, why?
AntiProtonBoy
While MDs were fun, audio quality was lower than CDs and had less capacity. They were also very fragile and prone to breakdowns. I know, because I had to repair my MD deck multiple times. iPods (and similar players) pretty much killed competing tech on the portable consumer market thereafter.
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Fair enough. I suppose that's in comparison to the maximum quality they would allow? Most consumers probably didn't care. I've got a MD player which is still up and running fine. Tech shifts would have killed anything off
AntiProtonBoy
To be honest, I didn't care that much about the lower quality either.
