Just before flash-based MP3 players came to dominate, I had a second gen "Hi-MD" MiniDisc player. Each disc was 1 GB, you plugged the player into the computer and it showed up as regular USB mass storage, just drag and drop the MP3s over.
The downside with larger disks like the 1 GB Hi-MD is that you can fit 200-400 songs, depending on bitrate. So you no longer get the physical connection "this disk is album X".
If anyone is looking to purchase, beware: first-gen Hi-MD devices (IIRC) were crippled by needing to use Sony's DRM management tool called SonicStage for transfering songs, it was slow as shit and annoying, probably only usable on WinXP or something today.
