Minidisc ain't the answer. As proof, even Sony (they are the ones that launched netMD as a response to mp3 players) have started making their own .mp3 players, seeing how sticking to MD would maje'em loose money.
MDs are more bulky, cost as much as your regular mp3 player, take longer to import songs and can't even hold half of what a good mp3 player can.
