- TacticalCoder 5y agoThis... I was an early MD adopter for music and I remember trying to find info as to how to use these for data but it wasn't possible. Funnily enough I totally forgot how I would record them: I know I'd transfer my songs from CDs to minidiscs, but I forgot how. At approximately the same time, on my Mac, I was using the Iomega ZIP drives, ranging from 100 to 250 MB if my memory serves me correctly. These always felt heavy and bulky compared to the minidiscs. The form factor of the MD was really cool and kinda still is.
