- Jon Konrath (2003), Tell Me a Story about the Devil ― Selected Journals, 1997—1999, page 137: “It'll be nice to travel with a MiniDisc, too. A MiniDisc, a GameBoy, a camcorder, a cellphone—I think RoboCop hauled around less gear.”
- Steve Shipside (2005), Win at the gym, page 28: “I have a MiniDisc which I rest on the treadmill/stepper but it still jogs – how do I stop it?”
- Mape Ollila (2008), Once Upon a Nightwish ― The Official Biography 1996—2006, page 169: “Tuomas suggested to me that WE buy a MiniDisc for Marco's backing vocals in Sinergy. We can't do that for two reasons. First of all, it's not exactly like we just have money being thrown at us to afford these things, and secondly, we prefer to play everything live.”
- Jayne K. Guberman (2005), In our own voices ― A guide to conducting life history interviews with American Jewish women, page 20: “Make sure that your minidisc has microphone inputs. Hand-held, high-quality microphones may need a preamplifier to work with a minidisc.”
