Minidiscs are by now an odd format, and players that can deal with both its
technical playback and its proprietary, "computer driven" data-reduction
system are going to be very hard to find before long.  They were never a
great means for archiving anything, as they are inherently lossy.  That was
an intentional part of the design.  All data stored on minidiscs that has
any value should be migrated to regular CD format.

 Best,
John Haley
