These look so retro and left field now, but back then it felt like the future. Minidiscs were so cool. No skips, writable, small, high tech.
It was expensive and not as easy to just use everywhere like tapes were though.
Unfortunately Sony back then had a habit of building new proprietary formats all the time. Their memory card thing, the UMD the replaced the minidisc, etc. A fine product but it would have been better as an open standard!
