Yea, the author is probably from the USA where MiniDiscs never took off.

In Japan they were huge! It's still frustrating that at end of their life some of the final models would run for 230hrs on a single charge! I know of zero mp3 players or phones that do that.




I found my old minidisc player recently. It still powered on despite the single ancient alkaline AA battery.

Good memories.


The author is from the UK where, similarly, the Minidisc was a flop.
