Sony is the only company still making minidisc players and recorders for the U.S. market, though they remain popular in Europe and Asia. Even though MP3 players have taken over, minidisc models still make sense for certain situations, and if you're the sort who likes to buck a trend, they are a less expensive way to manage a large music collection. The most compelling advantage of a minidisc recorder, however, is their ability to make live recordings of music, interviews and lectures. If you mainly want to transfer your music collection back and forth from your computer, an MP3 player is a better choice.
