Minidisc is a superb format for in-car playback. I find CDs far too

Yes - as a replacement for cassettes -especially when making your own,
it's great. But never caught on in cars, at least in this country. Perhaps
because Sony isn't affiliated or whatever with the main suppliers of OEM
ICE in Europe?
My present car came with cassette and CD, but no Minidisc option - long
after I'd replaced cassette with Minidisc at home.
