It's sad. But until recently prices were just too high.
Someone mentioned that editing on a CDR/W drive was easier than on MD. I don't
see that. I can stop an MD anywhere I want, then combine, divide, delete,
move..... You can't easily do that with CDs on a computer.
But a computer does not add SCMS. And a CD can hold an equal amount of music
without compression. I truly don't believe that the average person can hear the
difference between the original CD and it's MD copy.
But the 5 to 1 compression still has a psychological affect. Also, a CD holds
the same amount of music, but 5 times the "information" since it is not
compressed. but is CD is not 5 time bigger than an MD. I'm talking about the
disc itself. I'd gladly accept the extra size if CD were encased in jackets
like the MD is.
This is especially critical in CDR/W where scratches are much more sensitive
than even a plan CD.
