Having just recently got into MDLP, I'm very impressed. LP2 to me is
brilliant, fine for all uses. I like good sound quality, but I'm not
bothered to the extent that some people have been commenting on over the
past few days, and to me, it sounds the same as SP. LP4 definitely has some
degradation, but is again fine for me recording 5 hours of FM music off the
radio - as you say, particularly when using a portable on the train, or via
a casette adaptor in the car. I wouldn't use it for recording CD's to listen
to on my home deck though.

AS stated in my previous message, I've been out of MD
for a while.  I come back to find this wonerful new
technology, MDLP, which turns out to merely be lower
bit-rate sampling, much to my dismay.

Can anyone comment on the sound quality?  I personally
can't tell the different between 320Kbps and 256Kbps
mp3s, but I CAN (barely) hear the difference between
320 and 128.  128 is, generally, perfectly acceptable
to me.  Especially when using a pair of cheap PC
speakers or earbuds.  However, I've noticed that
92Kbps and lower really starts to sound like trash.

I've read the LP faq
(http://www.minidisc.org/mdlpfaq.html) and messed
about with the sample files they have, but does anyone
have any real-world experience they can share? 
Subjectively, how do LP2 and LP4 recordings compare to
say, 128K mp3s?
