I remember them.

My Walkman minidisc player was one of the best pieces of portable music kit I ever owned.

# It didn't surprise me they never took off
People like to have something fairly substantial to own. Thats why vinyl is still going.
(I helped save b3ta! SugarSpunSister Yeah, whatever, Fri 14 Dec 2007, 14:13, archived)
# Yep.
I never bought any pre-recorded minidiscs. I just bought the CDs and bunged them onto minidisc to listen to while I was out.

# I do like my iPod for the convenience
but it'll never stop me buying tunes. Thats for sillies

# I would have bought one (when they were still relevant)
if only you could buy a portable one with digital in AND out.

Sony cocked that up because they were so afraid of people copying their music. the only MD recorders with digital I/O were non-portable and very expensive.
