Advantages: tiny, incredable quality, minidisks are so much more robust than Cds

Disadvantages: A bit fiddly/complicated, but easily forgiven by the many advantages

Minidisks in my opinion are one of the best ever gadgets to ever come out of Japan, and are also one of the best developements in Hi-fi in years. They build on the strengths of compact disks, and eliminate most of the humble CD's short-fallings, such as bulk, easy scratching/ruining of a cd, and easy digital recording... although there are recordable cds, they're just too much hassle along side tapes and minidisk.
If you need any other reason to make the conversion to mindisk, let me remind you that the prices have plummeted during the last year, and you can now pick up a minidisk PLAYER for under £80, and a PLAYER/RECORDER for under £120, about half the price they were a year ago.
Also, take note that a pocket sized minidisk player can be run through your hi-fi and deliver similar quality to a full sized deck. I can but sing minidisk's praises, they are ace. The only downside is that they're a bit fiddly to use in all but basic playback, but it's a fault that I can easily live with. JOIN THE REVOLUTION!!
