Shortly appearing on e-bay......

The best technology doesn't always win.
V2000 (anyone remember that?) was better than Betamax which was better than VHS but VHS won.
The minidisc was good - optical transfer of data from a CD that made recording bit perfect - certainly would stuff the quality from an iPod after the compression needed to create an MP3 file.
However it didn't have mass appeal and the software was about as user friendly as a cornered rat.
Hence this is going to a nice person who appreciates it or is about to become a doorstop.......
