MP3s killed the MiniDisc player
Sony has announced that it is ending the production of the MiniDisc player - over 20 years after it was first launched.
The product, which Sony hoped would replace cassette players when it was launched in 1992, will have a final batch shipped in March before manufacturing stops for good.
MiniDisc players enjoyed little success outside of Japan and MP3 players led to the downfall of the product.
