There were once tons of pre-recorded MiniDiscs..... nobody bought them. They cost as much as a CD and were encoded in ATRAC. Also... it was limited to popular artists (and I think they were all on Sony's label if I'm not mistaken.)

I do see a major advantage over CD here... they have a scratch proof case, will be less susceptable to skipping (smaller mass) and will allow the production of smaller, less power consuming portable players.

(I still don't see my self ever buying one...)
