I would prefer MD over CD to carry around since it's smaller. Another reason
is that MD makes a very good backup. If I copy a 20$ CD to a 3$ disc and if
I loose this disc, no problem. MD isn't prone to scratches (It is in fact, but
the case will protect them against). And it's audioquality can only be
distingueshed by people who know what to look for. A blind test will show
that people think it's CD.
