I mostly used MiniDiscs in the late '90s and early 2000s (it was tape adapters and then aux cables for me), and I kind of always hated CDs since they could so easily be scratched, especially in a car.
But I do really miss long road trips for which my friends would burn specific mixes on CD. There was something nice about hearing their carefully selected tracks meant to embody the mood of the journey.
