I have made a number of recordings of various types of classical music in which the MD is not as good as the original CD. The type of music and the results have varied, but a few examples: 1. A piece for piano and another wind instrument (I think a bassoon, but it might have been an oboe) where a chord played on the lower part of the piano was not reproduced well at all. It sounds like someone blowing into a microphone. 2. A couple of pieces of orchestral music (one by Holst, one by Respigi) where there are orchestral climaxes; in both cases the MD did not reproduce the sound accurately 3. A classical guitar concerto in which the sound of the guitar is drier than the original recording. This one is, admittedly, more difficult to hear on its own...but I can easily hear the difference when doing an A-B. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Minidisc (although I am frustrated by the fact that I have to spend tons of money so I can hear them in places where I can easily listen to a CD). I like the features that it offers (editing, titling - although titling is a pain). I also find that for pop/rock and jazz, MD is fine. Even for most classical music (it does a great job on vocal and choral music). For classical music, however, I find that some of the recordings I have made have not been of sufficient quality - and yes, they are digital recordings.
