We used to make Mixtapes on these bad boys!
MiniDiscs is probably the most futuristic medium ever designed.
The bright colors, the shiny discs, the small formfactor and the cool design of the players, all still look futuristic.
I am sad that I never got into the format...
You never did because (the rumor was) physical space was a lot more limited in Japan where these were a useful upgrade over full sized CDs.
That was a stupid rumor....
Too bad Sony murdered it by insisting on keeping it proprietary, just like so many of their other formats.
And Memory Stick, and Betamax, and probably a few others I don't even remember.
Ugghh their memory sticks. So expensive and so slow for the day.
I don’t miss Sony memory sticks.
Yep! I have a pretty good collection and still use them to this day. 💽
That's how I've been listening to my tunes lately! I've got a dozen minidiscs in my bag with me at work right now. Current player of choice is the MZ-B10.
I threw away my whole collection in 2010, one of the biggest mistakes in my life.
Dude, what were you thinking?
Dark times
No, I mean yes of course I remember them, but I never had one even tho I lusted for a player. Yet another technology I missed out on, which is probably a good thing because it's dead and would have wasted money, but is also definitely a bad thing because of how cool the technology is.
Relent the advert for them featuring Reef , thought they were going to be the new led zeppelin! They were the coolest thing though, the recordable player and all, always loved sony stuff.
