    I have to agree with everything Peter says, except the part about
hearing differences in MD and CD.  I have about 30k worth of audio gear in
my studio and can only hear ANY difference at a very low volume of sound,
which is not the way I usually listen to music.  And I am listening via a
set of very expensive and sensitive speakers.  When the volume is turned up
to normal listening levels no one has ever been able to tell the difference
between the original CD or the MD in my studio.  This is how I have
convinced other DJs to use MD.  But, for the quality build and reliability
factors between different MDs Peter hit all the same notes I would have.
The only 2 brands I avoid are the M&M gang LOL..
