Never used (or even seen) a MiniDisc deck before but I've had a play and I'm well impressed. Why didn't they catch on more - much better than the portable CD players that did. [1]

I really like MiniDisc- I hate MP3, because I can hear the compression except at silly bitrates, but (at least with in-ear headphones) ATRAC sounds as good as CD.

At the time, CD was established, and MP3 has killed it for mass-market.

Sounds like a great buy though.
