    Minidiscs rocked! My first model, which I loved, was unfortunately stolen. They hardly took up any room and I could carry loads of them on my travels to college. They were cheap and came in lovely bright colours.

    The replacement model I bought was a Sony NetMD which I thought was amazing. It ran for hours on it’s chewing gum battery and if that failed, I could screw on an attachment to use a single AA battery.

    The player used Sony’s new compression techniques and I could fit three or four albums on a single disc. It came with a dock and connected to my Windows 95 PC so I could rip CDs or convert mp3s and use the computer to fill in the artist and track name information.

    I found the in-line remote on eBay so I could control it via the little cylinder remote with the backlit blue LCD display, clipped to my jacket.

    I loved minidiscs.
