"Sony Discontinues the MiniDisc Format" (http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/04/sony-discontinues-the-minidisc-format) was a headline revealed yesterday as it's revealed that Sony will soon stop producing MiniDisc units, just as VHS players and the PS2 have been stopped.
MiniDisc is an unusual format. Like Zip Discs and BetaMax it never truly cemented in. I remember using MiniDiscs though in my early days in student radio, playing jingles off MiniDisc. Other than that I never really saw it in use.
Sadly it fell between portable CD Walkman-like devices and .mp3 players and never really had the chance to get its footing in.
RIP MiniDisc, won't be much missed.
