Well, of course MP3 is computer-literate: as you quote, MP3 is a
"computer peripheral." If you want to do an
I know that someone already mentioned this, but many of you are still missing the
point. MD is an audio storage media. It is completely self contained and capable
of recording live music via microphone or any standard analog line out and TOSlink
or mini plug digital PCM audio.

How is that possible?? The cut off for frequencies on vinyl is 15,000 hz. The
dynamic range is at best probably 70. Channel separation is much lower.

I lost the original post on this subject, but I think you are only
