Re: What song is your "gateway drug"?
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.turned2black wrote:I still have about 50 MiniDiscs buried in my garage.

As soon as I identified the players, I bought the all 3 cassettes through Columbia House Record Club.
I believe I just dated myself.

They weren't like beta max at all. Beta was higher quality than its competition and mini disc was lower.darth_vedder wrote:I liked the mini disc.
