I remember them.

My Walkman minidisc player was one of the best pieces of portable music kit I ever owned.
( Afinkawan, Fri 14 Dec 2007, 14:10, archived)

It didn't surprise me they never took off
People like to have something fairly substantial to own. Thats why vinyl is still going.
( SugarSpunSister will characterise for cash, see profile, Fri 14 Dec 2007, 14:13, archived)

Yep.
I never bought any pre-recorded minidiscs. I just bought the CDs and bunged them onto minidisc to listen to while I was out.

Ahhh, that makes sense
I was fortunate enough to have a massively cool and still-functioning walkman. My first sony! It's gorgeous.

I do like my iPod for the convenience
but it'll never stop me buying tunes. Thats for sillies

I would have bought one (when they were still relevant)
if only you could buy a portable one with digital in AND out.

Sony cocked that up because they were so afraid of people copying their music. the only MD recorders with digital I/O were non-portable and very expensive.

Anything, really
I used brandy. Lots and lots of brandy.
