on the subject of minidisic
what do other people think of the quality of Minidisc - i've tried recording
some tracks onto it thru line ins on my portable sony minidisc and found
that the compression system didn't handle fast transients or wide frequency
ranges very well. Gave an interesting effect but didn't sound like the
original tracks
