Minidisc. Oh well. JPEG is still going though!

I rather liked MiniDisc. For a while before computer based systems
arrived. Far better than NAB carts, and much cheaper too. I've still got a
stack of domestic Sonys modified to balanced outputs I used to carry
around.

Minidisc was great, just perhaps a little late in coming to get real
success (and perhaps SCMS didn't help). Audio quality was great, and the
form factor small enough to be properly portable, unlike CD.

I'm surprised it didn't appeal more to teenagers etc who liked to make up
their own tapes with cassette.
