I still miss my minidisc to this day. It was such a functional and well made device without all the bulk or skipping of CD players. It was rechargeable (your comment about the batteries made me gasp) and the writeable cartridges were a godsend. It even served as a fantastic note taker cos it had a builtin mic. I kept using mine for years after MP3 players were released because storage was so expensive (£150 for 128Mb when first released haha). I would almost consider buying one today if I had a need for an external player but alas the phone does it all these days.
