I still have about 50 MiniDiscs buried in my garage. I had a friend that did promotional work for Sony and she gave them to me all the time. I also had a killer MiniDisc Walkman.

I liked the mini disc. I used to work at Circuit City back in the day, and I was a big fan. I liked how they were, well, mini. Much easier to tote around and didn't scratch as easy. I hoped they were gonna catch on, but it was like the Beta Max. It just wasn't meant to be I guess.

I believe I just dated myself. :oops:
I used Columbia house and bmg for a ton of my cds back in the day
Totally. That's when I started my alias collections and would'nt buy out the rest of my subscription ;)

They weren't like beta max at all. Beta was higher quality than its competition and mini disc was lower.
