How much data can the new HDCD hold?
The only issue with sound quality regarding MDs is due to the vact that
ATRAC is a compression algorithm, and you always lose something in
compression.
A CD holds 650MB worth of data, uncompressed. An MD...only 160MB. I
don't know what possible method anyone's going to use to get the same
amount of data/music on an MD as they do on a CD, without using some sort
of compression, which is inherently lossy.
I really don't know what the big deal is. Personally, I don't know any
people whose hearing rivals that of the dog, so nobody I know can really
tell the difference between the CDs I own or the MDs I've copied them to,
via the digital sound card in my PC.
