The Minidisc Geek is where nostalgia meets technology — a subsite of The Apple Geek celebrating Sony’s iconic Minidisc format, the compact music medium that defined my ’90s and still hasn’t lost its charm. Long before streaming and cloud storage took over, Minidiscs offered something truly unique: the perfect balance of digital precision and tactile satisfaction. From the satisfying click of the eject button to the colourful cases lined up on a shelf, every detail carried a sense of innovation and individuality.

Here, I explore the format’s enduring appeal — the hardware, the discs, the hacks, and the memories that keep this tiny optical marvel alive. Whether you’re rediscovering your old collection or learning about Minidisc for the first time, The Minidisc Geek is a space to celebrate the technology that never quite died — it just found a new home in the hearts of those who still care.
