I would never say MiniDisc is bad. Its brilliant.
But wait 'till you come across Sony's (yes, the guys who invented the MiniDisc) NEW CD protection scheme: Besides being not standards compliant in a number of ways, those CDs all have their CopyBit set - and there you are with your grand MiniDisc(tm) recorder, equipped with a now totally useless digital input (unless you decide to spend another ridiculously high amount of bucks on a copy bit stripper).
I wonder how all those hordes of people feel like, who have been tricked into buying this crap by Sony's "digital copy" campaign.
Man I am so glad I havent bought any Sony product for years (since I heard about what their interpretation of artists freedom is).
