Hipsters, take note!

  Puts down his MiniDisc player… "Take note of what?"

    It's a shame MiniDisc wasn't more popular.

      Yeah, but there was no way it was ever going to be cheap the way tapes were. Even portable CD players never got to the point that you would let a child just do what they wanted with one.

        Portable CD players were way more finicky than walkmans (walkmen?!), plus the form factor was just not ideal.

          A problem that was mostly solved by 1995 or so as RAM got cheap enough for a decent buffer. Still not something you could go running with but they didn't skip in cars any more. A child could play with one. Not a toddler, but a responsible-ish 8-year-old.
