The Sony minidisc players were decent hardware, but the app that loaded music onto the discs was completely garbage.

It would set the bit rate down to sub 40kbps(so it looked like you had mp3 Cd levels of storage, and would move the original music files it "loaded" deep into %appdata% to try and hide the originals from you.
