These mini CDs were relatively successful in Brazil, not because of the phonographic industry, but by a marketing action promoted by Coca-Cola. In the early 2000s, you could exchange Coca-Cola products caps and labels for mini CDs, these often contain songs popular by soap operas and video clips of the time.

[@ppilfy]

[@MuzikJunky]

There was a similar campaign in the US, too. I never found the discs, but I got two cassettes in the mail! Peace.

[@EdivaldoJunior94]

Many software drivers came in mini CDs

[@luiz.acciari]

Exactly. Accompanied by a case.

[@degocalixto5012]

By the way, I had one of these discs (Coca Cola's) and some others that came with softwares, dictionaries, etc.

[@ayden282]

I was born in 2002 in the Netherlands but I think I have about 20 of these cd's, they came free with some electrical equipment for pc drivers and also for some promotions and demo games. Forgot to mention, a lot of gamecube games are the small 80mm cd format, they also work in the Wii

When the laser disc, the CD and the 3" CD were lined up, to me it looked like the Earth and Moon orbiting the sun.

[@DarkFraggel]

If i'm not totally wrong Nintendo used that size for mini-dvd's for their Game Cube console. Same size but a bit more storage.

[@39zack]

Correct 👍 the mini dvd was around 1,5GB per disc

[@briansprenger5578]

I have a few including the original release of NIN's Broken which came with a 3 inch CD containing the 2 'hidden' tracks.

[@tristanraine]

Fun fact about Broken, it had 250,000 copies with a 3" CD but since it got too expensive they decided to make different versions, making a 99 track version for the main CD where everything past the 6th track was 4 seconds of silence except 98 was Physical (You're So) and 99 being Suck

[@abdelmc1373]

TechMoan made a very detailed video about those, i remember when i was still fascinated by how small they are

[@doktormabuse4794]

I recall videos about MiniDiscs and MiniDVD but not these.

[@randomdriver]

Many pc drivers and programs were also distributed with mini cd's that didn't required really much space in late 90's and early 2000's. Those were my only contact with that format.

[@OntariosElevatorssince2013]

One more thing to add is that if you want to play these mini CDs in a slot-loading CD player, such as in a car stereo, you absolutely had to use the ring adapter, since the vast majority of slot-loaders couldn't accept them. I only have 2 mini CDs in my collection, which are Phil Collins' "Two Hearts" with a heart-shaped sleeve, and a promotional disc of Jim Steinman's project, Pandora's Box. Both of them are UK presses.

[@davidalmanza3633]

Those Japanese booklets for the mini CD’s are sick. Definitely want to get my hands on one.

[@adrianstafford321]

Love this,didn't know they even existed. Keep this up please. Learn so much from this channel! 😎❤✌

They aren't as rare as one might think, especially in Europe they were widespread and there was even a DVD version of them.

I literally bought a new PC component last week and it came with a Mini CD storing the driver.

[@mr.electronx9036]

yep. camcorders had mini dvd in it. the pocket players looked even like minidisc players back then lol

[@MuzikJunky]

I’m gonna have to roll my eyes on this one. All standard CD trays have a notch for playing 3-inch CDs. You can still buy blank ones, too! There are even 3-inch DVDs! The Italian ambient label Amplexus (now called Silentes) often releases 3-inch CDs, one of which is by Robert Rich (which was rereleased as the first track of “A Troubled Resting Place”). Peace.

[@nanchanger]

So why roll eyes?

Frost E.P. by Frost. The last studio release by the band of the same name, came out in 2005, the band broke up in 2008 after releasing a 2cd compilation set of their 2 full lengths in 2007. The Frost E.P. was a 3inch, 17 minutes, and only 1,000 were made, which were all print numbered 0001 to 1000. Found copy number 0656 not too long ago.

[@gianlusc]

I've used several of them to record on them. They were available as CD-R in Italy.

[@scoobooyt]

as a Mariah Carey fan/collector, I wanted to research these 3 inch CDs because she has released so many, and of course the first video that I see has her mini CD in the video and thumbnail 😭 I also never knew that they were playable in standard CD players, I always knew they existed but I always thought you needed a specific player, which turned me off of buying them

[@arcade.space.invader]

As a Game Collector the first thing I think about is the GameCube. It uses the same Mini Disc's for the games. But I also have some VHS Tapes with music Videos or Live music Concerts with a Mini Disc's in my collection. They sometimes did put a special Mini Disc inside For Singles or Promotional Purpose. As an example : The Genesis Invisible Touche Tour VHS has an Special Limited Edition Mini Disc it came with.

[@FinalLychee]

IIRC the GameCube's discs were actually more akin to mini DVDs.

[@marilyngardner]

That video was very interesting. Thank you.😊

[@TheAngryRedBird]

I got a mini CD of some of the tracks from Runner3 with my physical Switch copy a few years back. It's weird, but cool. And, of course, I've seen DVDs of this size in the form of Gamecube discs. Oh, and for Song of the Day - "Holding on to You" by Twenty One Pilots

[@Stu390]

Not sure if you’ve covered it Jarrett but the 4 different speed records, 78rpm, 45rpm, 33 1/3rpm and 16rpm, used to own a record player with all 4 speeds.

[@Stu390]

Have quite a few of the 3” CD’s, have never owned an adapter and never had any issues with my front loading CD players. My favourite The KLF what time is love CD3.

[@landonpraught9170]

Thank youfor this so cool !

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

I just lucked up on Prince- Hit and Run phase 2 CD at a used store. AWESOME find.

[@JillyMaysHere]

These are definitely interesting for me. While I didn't really know about the prevalance of mini-CD singles until I starting frequenting Discogs back in 2020, the form factor of these discs is definitely very familiar to me, having played a lot of GameCube growing up. (that console uses proprietary discs which are essentially mini-DVDs) I currently own two Japanese mini-CD singles. One is the Twin Peaks theme, the other is the PepsiMan jingle.

[@MegaAlexis92]

When you pulled up the laserdisc beside the other ones I feel old. When I was growing up my family had a laserdisc player. The laserdisc player still works to this day.

[@krystianhinz4575]

3:07 that CD by TM Network is for their most popular single "Get Wild" which is the ending credits song in the 1987 anime classic "City Hunter"

[@seabreeze9296]

yes i remember seeing those being sold, basically for only 2 or 3 songs

[@ThexthSurvivor]

I have a mini music CD that I bought back in 1994. It still works. I also have a spindle of mini CDRs, which I used to make emulator discs for the Dreamcast and give them out to people back in the early 2000s. They had mini audio CDs in some stores back then for singles. I'm surprised you never saw any. One optical media that I never saw or heard of until recently is Dataplay. Those discs are even smaller than a mini CD. They come in a caddy but the disc seems to be smaller than a quater.

[@brunoprimas1483]

I had some in the late 80's, as well as Cassingles!

[@TheTapeDiscMan]

As I said in a community post earlier, I have Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Rydeen" and Men At Work's "Down Under" on mini CDs. Still in my Discogs wantlist. I only have mini CD-Rs at the moment.

[@cubdukat]

I barely saw them in the US, but they were all over the place in Japan. CD3 was the official name for them. I used to have a lot of them, and all but one of them were Japanese market releases. They seemed to have a lot more success there because the Japanese music industry is a lot more single-oriented than, say, the American market, which seems to like full album releases more.

[@CommodoreFan64]

These smaller cheaper 8CM CD disc were still very popular in the 00's, and even into the 2010's with Chinese makers to put software, and hardware drivers on for various computer hardware, or things like cheap Mp3/Mp4 players, and keychain photo viewers. I have several of those disc in my collection, including some blanks mini CD-R disc I picked up cheap in the late 90's. Heck even DVD used the same size format for Anime, and small portable DVD players designed for kids, and held 1.4GB of DATA. Nintendo also used the 8CM format for the Gamecube disc which were DVD read from the outside track to the inside track to get around fees, and make them harder to pirate, then there was Sony who used the mini 8CM DVD-R disc for some of their Handycam models in the early - mid 00's as my sister had one. So really the 8CM format was really more successful than you are giving it credit for here.

[@illystern3128]

The early Sonny PSP had this mini CD for its games!! My whole childhood was with these mini CD

[@Rebelnightwolfe]

I have about 80 3CD's in my collection, most are from artists I listen to, the rest I got for a dollar each at a Japanese street festival I go to every year. Finding tanzaku cases for them that the CD rental stores used in japan are still hard to come by. I love the uniqueness of them! They're actually easier to manage than full sized jewel cases. I got a Philips Pocket Expanium specifically to play them smaller format because I love the format so much.

[@wetherby6774]

I have 2 samplers from label DMP out of Stamford, Ct., from the late 80's. This company, Digital Music Products, specialized in smooth jazz which was popular at that time, and all their music was recorded all digitally. These two sampler discs which are about 3 inches across have terrific sound and fit in the recessed part of your cd player's tray. As far as promotional material goes, this was a good idea.

[@EctoTron1]

The CD’s pictured at 2:40 are the Oasis singles (from left to right) Sunday Morning Call, Go Let It Out and Who Feels Love. They were released in the UK between February to July 2000. They are actually standard sized CD discs, however the section without data is clear plastic.

[@leonardeades1234]

FYI, I just bought a new released disk from the Kpop group Purple Kiss. It came, to my surprise on a mini cd. I found your site looking for a way to play it.

[@erwintimmerman6466]

The first CD I ever bought as a teenager - before I even had a player 😁 - was a 3" single of Can't stay away from you by Gloria Estefan. It came in a full CD size cardboard sleeve, with adapter, because otherwise it wouldn't fit. I remember looking at the playing surface for ages, mesmerized by the rainbow reflections. Later I also got Madonna's Cherish, and Wham's Last Christmas, although these came in 3" jewel cases. I also still have about 20 small recordable CDs, but since these are already 20 years old and unrecorded still, I wonder if they still work. But they're cute anyway so I just hold on to them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 👍

[@travisd199]

You should do a mini disc episode as well. Interesting media format in the early 2000’s.

[@vaughntonkin539]

These were in Australia till 90, I have at least 5 of them, they were packaged in a 3" J card cover, early tray CD players didn't have the 3" indent on the tray calling for the adapter, my 1989 vitage player has the 3" indent

[@vaughngeorgesmixtapes8276]

I own Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence on Mini CD

Great video brother, I remember these lol

[@glennjones6574]

I CANNOT IMAGINE anyone actually asking anyone to make a video about these. Lol. Best laugh I've had all week

[@jasongnome]

I'm a very tong time record collector with a fairly big collection (about 2000 records and around the same number of CDs). I've been collecting vinyl since the 70s and CDs since the 90s and still buy both. I have just one mini-CD, and it's a UK major label release from 2004. Busted's, "She Wants to Be Me", I was running a mobile disco business at the time and did a lot of work for kids and teens so was staying up to date. It was a normal release, not a promotion, but it's the only one I've seen. It comes in a square jewel case the right size for it (ie small!). I've owned and used a lot of CD and DVD players over the years and none have had a problem playing it, that includes professional DJ decks, home systems, DVD players, and player recorders in laptops and PCs. The smaller indent is, as you say designed to play these discs and there is no danger of it falling out and damaging itself or the equipment. A CD (or DVD) player grips the CD tight from its hole before it starts spinning, so as long as you place it in the drawer correctly there is no danger of damage from them.

[@AlekDjRo]

Yes i still have one of these, very cool. It is a MiniCD from Sony about the 20th Century Highlights. On the back it says: "Minimum System Requirements: IBM PC Compatible, 486 DX Processor, win 95, 16mb ram recommended, hdd 25 mb available, 256 vga colour monitor, standard cd-rom drive" last part is funny cuz you need at least a cd-rom to use this haha. 😂

[@AlekDjRo]

This was 1999 btw.

[@SirEncyTheWray]

Lots of modern PCs flunk the system requirements!

[@peterlamont647]

@SirEncyTheWray You got that right. For one thing, windows isn't compatible with windows. and doesn't really support VGA mode without task killing the explorer! For shame Microsoft. I think it is funny that you need a DX processor for that. Though I suppose the SX boards were for poor people and sucked pretty bad.

[@TomiXDD]

Good video as always.

[@IrishCarney]

5:36 Notice that the back lists the price of the full album in both Compact Disc (CD) and MiniDisc (MD) format. MiniDisc was different from MiniCD, being a bit smaller, always in a protective plastic case, and using magneto-optical tech for recording (while pre-recorded commercial albums were in purely optical form). It's interesting that the prices are the same - one thing that held MD back in the West was that MDs were more expensive than CDs.

[@riddimforretards6895]

I actually saw kind of a lof of indie vaporwaves albums have a physical version with this format on bandcamp

[@markmarkofkane8167]

I have several. They were blanks until I burned music on them with my computer. Never used an adapter. Never had a problem.

[@berkkarsi]

I've always found these things fascinating. I had one, it was for installing software that came with a device.

[@LutherusPandragon]

I loved to use them for powerpoint stuff and also had lots of music on them

[@J-H0PE]

i know of this cd format because the original release of the Bratz Rock Angelz dolls came with a mini cd!

One of the mini CDs I have in my collection is Ray Charles performing America The Beautiful. Which is also a suggestion for song of the day.

[@TheBudgie29]

Hi Jarrett, I was a club DJ In the UK, and i would start to get these 3" CD's coming from Japan. They were the CD Equivalent to the Vinyl Records i was already playing. But It would be a Year before I could actually get hold of a CD player to play them on. I had to use the Ring Adapters (As they were known) the only thing was, they fell out too easily. By the time they put the 3" dink In the CD trays, 5" disc's had firmly taken over. I still have and play those disc's today. Even the Rick Astley one You Mentioned. Great Days. PS, I also had loads of UK Pressed ones coming through as Promotional use only. In strange Card sleeve's as of the Phil Collin's one In a Heart shaped one. Still have them all.

[@ToaGatanuva]

Aahh, this brings back memories of Gamecube and Bionicle promo CDs

[@MrAnton0613]

I was able to collect around 30 pieces of these Japanese 3" cds from the late 90s to early 2000s... there are even remixes!

[@goo_90]

Song of the day: Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads

[@stefanie_s]

I've got some of the Rick Astley Japanese Snap-Packs. I absolutely love those! got some other Japanese releases as well and European ones. the European singles either came in the jewel case you showed or a cardboard slipcase. the 3" slipcases make them look super cute compared to a 12" single 😬

[@leon_mnl]

yes , and the netherlands , i actually own a couple , including the one from mariah your showing , the usually came with a adapter ring for if your player didn’t support the smaller size cds AND i have a lot of 8cm recordable ones

[@luma7379]

I actually have one of these! It came free with a switch game I bought, and contains about 16 minutes of the game’s soundtrack. It’s pretty cool imo :)

[@wladius]

The audio systems I grew up with had slots for these CDs, but I never actually saw a music CD of that size though. But they were quite common for distributing PC drivers.

[@jasongnome]

I'd forgotten about those, even though I only have one audio version, I do remember software being released on them.

[@mikebrock1965]

Rhino released a series of these in the late 80's by artists from the 50's and 60's. They had 3-4 songs on them. I still have one from The Fleetwoods.

[@RWL2012]

My Mum told me her first CD was a 3" single (I can't remember what of), that I believe came with something (like a magazine maybe). She didn't yet have a player and had to listen to it at a friend's house!

[@joetheprogrammer0]

I don't remember music on these mini CDs, but it was normal to find hardware that came with drivers on a mini CD. That was my experience in the UK at least.

[@ProductionsFromBeyon]

One of my fav ska centric labels, Jump Up Records, released a mini CD or two over the past few years. I snagged them as a novelty as much as anything.

Hi Jarrett. I currently have an AT LP120 and am considering getting the AT LPW40W. I prefer the look of it, plus the carbon fibre tone arm, and the fact it’s belt driven. Is this a good move?

[@DerekPower]

I have indeed … I even have a couple of them. I am even contemplating releasing my next キラヨシ release as a mini-CD/CD3/80mm as it will be an EP lasting under 20min. There was even a configuration called “Minimax” where you have the 3” CD embedded in a 5” disc. Basically it has its own baked-in/seamless adapter 😁. Look up Autechre/Hafler Trio’s ae3o/h3ae. And remember: there have been new releases on reel-to-reel cassettes, MiniDisc and even on video game cartridges. So anything is possible 😁

I have one of those from Japan, has 3 songs, it’s Mariko Ide’s first/debute single Crawl from Avex.

[@johncicci917]

I remember when they first started releasing these mini cd singles. I was working at Sam The Record Man in Toronto then. We never got that many titles on them so they weren't popular really. I still have maybe 10 of them. If you don't have many titles available for sale in a store it's hard to get your product off the ground.

[@JuniperGoodnight]

Song of the Day: Scandal-Queen

[@MassReflux]

I think they would be a fine comeback, but as part of a successor. SACD’s have the same areal density as DVD’s, so, in theory, maybe Blu Ray technology could form a high capacity 3 inch successor to SACD, and the regular size could be used for really big albums

[@TubbyTryhard]

Hey Jarrett, what's your recommendation on the best inner sleeves for 7" singles?

[@SE-lc4hm]

They were relatively common as writable media in the UK, and also there were DVD's meant for use in camcorders but also could store data although ... 1.4GB isnt not quite enough for much these days

[@raggeragnar]

Being an old fart , born -65 , I kept on buying singles into the 90’s , which gradually changed to the big cd-singles. However , I got one small one. Suzie Quatro’s ”Baby , you’re a star” from 1989.
