I love my minidiscs (I have a MD deck and Portable Player) because in my
opinion they are so versatile and useful. Its true that its easier to record
bulk mp3s onto a cd but portable cd players are too big and you can get some
miniscule MD player/recorders now. I record stuff onto MD and take it out
with me and its pretty hassle free. I got my MD player back in '98 (when
they weren't too common) and I have seen them go from strength to strength
and especially useful is the fact you get track names coming up. Quality
wise, the sound is excellent (not even worth comparing to 128kbps mp3) and
only the real music buffs can tell any difference.
Hope that helps,
Ben
