MiniDiscs - 21 years of almostness

The BBC reports the end of MiniDisc player production by Sony as below

Sony has announced it is to deliver its last MiniDisc stereo next month.

It marks an end to the firm's support for the system which it launched in 1992.

The format only ever had limited success outside of Japan and was ultimately doomed by the rise of recordable CDs and MP3 players.

Any member mindisks tales out there ....
