+====== MiniDisc ======
+MiniDiscs are a physical audio format developed by [[lb:Sony]] originally as a replacement to the [[lb:cassette]] format.
+{{tag>av}}
+===== Brief History =====
+MiniDisc's main competitor was the [[lb:Philips]] [[lb:dcc|Digital Compact Cassette]]. The two almost engaged in a format war, before [[lb:DCC]] just died.\\
+Interestingly, because Sony and Philips were initially cooperating on the development of a successor to the Compact Cassette, Sony and Philips ended up co-owning both formats.
+===== Personal Note =====
+Playing around with the MiniDiscs remind me of when I would create mixes on CD-Rs for my family's car. After doing this enough, I even commandeered my parents' old portable CD player. There are two main reasons I stopped doing this: Whenever I'd make a mistake, it would be stuck on there, and this would annoy me; the portable CD player broke. MiniDiscs brought me back to those fun times, with the advantage that I could re-write the discs if I made a mistake.
