I dont know which part of europe you are from but in the UK,
minidisc has a general acceptance now amongst most people to
the point that it is a mainstream recording format. Be it
Dixons (a nationwide general electronics retailer), or more
specialist hi-fi stores, you will find minidisc at least on
a par with cassettes for shelf space. Even in music stores
where two years ago they would have only CDs and cassettes,
I see increasing numbers of pre-recorded MD's available to
the point where it now about equals tapes. And the fact
those same stores stock a variety of brands (yeah I know) of
blank minidiscs says something for their demand.
Many peeps I know had bought into minidisc before I met them,
I wonder which part of europe this is where minidisc is just
a cool toy.
