I was a big MiniDisc fan. They were like digital cassette tapes. I could record from the radio, trim out the DJ, re-order the tracks, and give them titles. Looking back, it was all a bit tedious to do on the player/recorder itself, but paired with modern software and a reader for the PC, I'm sure it would be outstanding.

I was a fan until I learned that I couldn't copy the audio I recorded, as an audio file from it. Sony intentionally prevented you from doing to to "prevent potential copyright infringement".
