Umm, sorry but MD is widely used by professionals which is why such models
do exist in Sony's Broadcast division. You really need to be out in the
field more often to observe this, so I'll excuse you not knowing the full
story there 3#-)
As for the sound not being *that* good, I can understand that point of view.
But then again, after post-production work I perform on my recordings from
MD, they do get mistaken for actual studio recordings! I still do a lot of
work from DAT (in a multitrack application) for the sake of studio work, but
when it comes to a portable situation when working on live recordings, I
prefer to work with MD as it is more convenient and robust when out on the
job, as opposed to the bulkier DAT sibling.
Adios,

MD isn't really used by professionals - it's good, but not *that* good. It
may hold it's own in Radio broadcast houses, but unless Sony wise up and do
some serious marketing I see MD being threatened quite seriously.... you'll
still be able to get blank MDs for years though, I can still get Betamax
video cassette and that format has been all but dead for years (more's the
pity IMHO).
