Whoa -- While the Empeg certainly won't control a headless MD changer, let's not knock minidiscs in general.

MDs are great for many reasons; IMHO they got "right" many of the faults of CDs, incl. track/disc naming, protected read/write surface, reusability, small size. And vs. portable MP3 hardware, they're a much cheaper storage-per-minute (and of a constant length).

I've got a minidisc head unit, with plenty of MDs in my armrest, with all-time favorite albums and mixes. Perfect for when I don't happen to have my Empeg with me. And I never have any awkward CDs floating around the car!

Anyway, I highly recommend an MD+Empeg setup, even if it didn't work out in this particular case.
