Its competition was the mp3 player, and most people used lossy audio on that. I’m sure that if the format became more popular they would have upgraded everything. I wonder how many GBs they could have added to this by now. And they could have made it double sided, flipping the MiniDisc would have been better than inserting a second CD, maybe that never crossed their minds.
The compact disc is an inferior product and it’s still sold today.
