Favorite obsolete formats.....

MiniDisc and Hi-MD. My dislike of certain magazine reviewers reached near pathological levels as I used to read one disparaging review after the next. It was that word ’lossy’ ... As a result of their unceasing negative propaganda we lost a wonderfully versatile recording / compilation medium.

It’s not likely that a few online reviewers were responsible for the market failure of MD. It’s much more likely that the market was simply evolving beyond lossy formats, especially for recording.

I think MQA’s future is also uncertain, and for much the same reason.

"...It’s not likely that a few online reviewers were responsible for the market failure of MD..." 

Most likely your average Walmart shopper is determining what formats are commercially accepted. 

Dare I say LP?
