I got my first MiniDisc in 99, when I was 19. It was Panasonic off eBay, and it was fucked. So I got my second MiniDisc in 99 when I was 19. THAT one was a Sony, and was rock solid.

I wish I could have afforded one in ‘96, because then I might have got more use out of the tech before MP3 strutted up and pantsed it.
