Mini Disc

The Mini Disc (MD) was initially an attempt to find a digital replacement for the music tape cassette. This audio storage device uses a magnetic-optical format for recording and playback of digital audio. The quality, however, is not as good as that of the CD, due to greater data compression while recording.
