I think Minidisks were kind of like the war in Iraq (without all the death). At first some people thought it was a good idea and others were hesitant. Then after a while it looked like it might go farther forward. Then all of a sudden it just hit a wall and no one wanted it anymore. But there will always be a few people who bought into the whole fad that will refuse to admit they were wrong and still talk about how great they are. See also: DAT tapes (although those are still good for studio recordings if you want to use them). Did I just make a successful comparison between politics and electronic mediums? I think I did. Man, I rule so hard.

Hm, but MDs remained popular for a quite a few years in Asia. Not sure about now since I haven't been back there in forever. It never made it big here though, maybe the ppl are too lazy to go through all the annoying song uploading/recording processes.
