Sony to make last MiniDisc stereo system in March

“Sony has announced it is to deliver its last MiniDisc stereo next month. It marks an end to the firm’s support for the system which it launched in 1992. The format only ever had limited success outside of Japan and was ultimately doomed by the rise of recordable CDs and MP3 players.” My format of choice for personal audio up until a few years ago, when the rest of the world had already long moved on to MP3. Nothing beats the satisfying sound of closing a portable MiniDisc player/recorder with a disc in it.
