«In daily use, MiniDisc functioned less like an optical disc and more like a compact digital workspace. Discs were reused without hesitation, overwritten repeatedly, and reorganized as listening habits changed. The physical interaction reinforced that behavior. The shutter sliding open, the disc being drawn into the mechanism, and the brief mechanical whir signaled a system built around deliberate handling rather than passive consumption.»
