But there is a huge base of burners and players out there (actually if you want to play MP3 files, not that many models are available). I still say, if they can make an MD player capable of reading both ATRAC and MP3 (with an input from a USB port to a jack on the recorder capable of reading and recording MP3 files). At the present all MD recorders are only capable of reading uncompressed PCM. If an MD can store 140 MB, that would be over 40 songs if each song was an average of 3 MB. Also, if each song averaged 3 minutes, that would be 2 hours + of music. If it ever really happens, maybe Net MD (Sony spells it as 2 separate words) will fill the gap.
