In comparing James's home-made MDs of classical music recorded from CDs on
his Sharp portable to premastered MDs, one has to conclude that the pre-
mastered MDs have to be at least as good and possibly better, since their
ATRAC algorithms can be fine-tuned and adapted to do the best job possible
for the type of music being mastered, whereas the consumer unit has one set
of guidelines hard-coded in it for every type of sound it records. Ergo, if
James finds his own dubs from CD satisfactory, premastered MDs of classical
works have to be at least as good, maybe better.
