Limited Mac support was added during the HiMD era. You couldn’t use drag/drop with the file manager, and you were forced to use Windows. But the biggest hurdle for MiniDisc adoption later on was that the recorders were tied to the universally horrible SonicStage software. MiniDisc is heavily DRM encumbered, and to make matters worse, Sony refused to implement MP3 support until very late in the game (2005 or something). On top of the high price came Sony’s incredible mismanagement of MiniDisc. The result is that MD equipment has always remained expensive compared to other offerings.

The biggest problem was probably the pricing of MD equipment and discs you had to license the technology from Sony to manufacture MD equipment, but there were too few takers to create a sustainable market. While popular in Japan and some areas of Europe (it was relatively popular in my area), it never gained a solid foothold in the rest of the world. So, if MD came down from the heavens to take us by the hand and guide us to the promised land, why did it fail?ĭespite the recognised advantages of MiniDisc, the format never really took on. In 2004, Sony introduced HiMD, which is capable of storing up to 45 hours of music on one HiMD (1GB) disc (lowest quality setting, obviously). The discs themselves were incredibly resilient (you can play tennis with those things), and could store up to 80 minutes of music in the early days, in 2000 expanded to 160 minutes (LP2) and 320 minutes (LP4) with the introduction of MDLP (MiniDisc Long Play). Then MiniDisc came – completely digital, recordable, supported editing of audio on-the-go, track/album information, linear PCM recording, and most importantly: anti-skip thanks to its buffer technology.

CDs were not recordable at the time, the portable audio market was still dominated by cassette tapes, and portable CD players didn’t yet have anti-skip technology – and were pricey too. MiniDisc, introduced in 1992, was far superior to anything else on the market. A what?įor those that are unfamiliar with the MiniDisc format, let me give you a quick overview of the history of the MiniDisc in four words: superior, expensive, mismanaged, doomed. Imagine my surprise when I was browsing the web this morning, looking for news, and stumbled upon a supposedly new model of the Aspire One – with a Vmedia drive.
