mini-discs
I'm pretty sure some people haven't even heard of mini-discs, but I think they are the best way to store audio. For those of you who don't know what a mini-disc is, it is basically a miniature CD placed in a plastic case so that it can't be scrached easily, recordable mini-disc are re-writeable, they offer CD quality sound, and I haven't yet had my personal mini-disc player skip.
Anyone know of any good car mini-disc players? preferably in dash? I my self believe Sony is the best company to exist, but I'm probbably wrong about that.

I think sony had a good idea with the mini-disk, but remember how they went with the beta? (which, by the way, were realy cool). They make their own head unit that had a MD slot, but I don;'t know if they even make it anymore. Now that everyone and their mother has a CD burner and you can get a spindle of 50-CDs for a couple of bucks, MDs just cost to much and are hardly universal. Add MD to the Beta on the list of Sony foul-ups. Maybe they'll get their "memory stick" idea to hang around for more than ten minutes...

I am a big Pioneer fan myself, and I have seen the Pioneer MD receiver is action, very cool, kinda pricey, but very nice. I know that Kenwood and Clarion each have an in-dash MD player, but have never seen either.

I guess there is a good chance mini-discs won't last very long, but remember when CDs first came out? About $20 a piece, now they are about half that much. In my own opinion the mini-disc should last because Sony isn't the only maker of mini-disc players, they are smaller than a CD, re-writable, and "don't skip". I will admit they are a little bit pricey right now.
