I can't explain why I thought MiniDisc was such a cool format. Maybe it was just its appearance in the Matrix. Maybe it was the Japanese "strangeness" of the format, and the difficulty of getting one in the United States.
I was finally able to afford one near the end of the format's life, around the time that MP3 players were becoming endemic. I honestly couldn't make any case for why it was better, and it was significantly less convenient. But I still loved using it.
I need to dig through my "big attic box of outdated electronics" and see if I can still dig it up and see if it works.
I recently imported a Japanese Kei (mini) Truck. A minidisc stereo would be a great theme-appropriate fit for it, if I can find one at a reasonable price.
