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 assume you mean 8-tracks - they aren't quite the same. And what about
Compact Cassette? They were quite good once improvements were made to
the tape and heads &c. Too bad DAT wasn't allowed because of DRM and
consigned to computer data storage.
