I have some bad news for you... every piece of recorded music you 
have ever heard (vinyl, cd, tape, radio, tv, film, etc.) has been 
compressed. Even live instruments (guitar, keyboard, sampler, 
whatever) is compressed when put through an amplifier.
The only uncompressed music you will ever hear comes from acoustic 
instruments played right in front of you!

OK, so we're maybe talking about a slightly different application of 
compression, but it's essentially the same thing.

There is nothing at all wrong with ATRAC (latest versions).
MiniDisc rules OK! ;-)

Cheers,
Aca
