laserdiscs used analog audio, is this true? If so, how's the quality?
While analog storage has its merits, it does lend itself

I've been recording some of my own professional mixes using my MDS-

I beg to differ. The format is called MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) and it
is distributed by Dolby Labs. It can compress any PCM file, and yes, it is
supposed to be used in DVD-A.
So if CDs can hold 74 minute of uncompressed audio with 650 Megabytes, a

No. In fact none do. Conventional compression algorithms operate on
fixed-size blocks of data. Real-time compression of an audio stream is
easilly possible with a bit of buffering. The issue is not that but
compressing fast enough so that the buffer is not overrun.
Well, in effect, the
32-64K blocks is the norm for high-level compression these days. That is
what bzip2 uses, and boy is it slow even on a fast Pentium-III. One minute
of linear PCM is ~8.75MB. You would need a supercomputer the size of a
refrigerator to utilize a block size that large.
Well, I can go to
Pretty much correct. Something to note: the ATRAC specification has never
changed, but the sophistication of implementations has. The older versions all
used fixed point arithmetic, because the readily available DSPs were all fixed
point. Newer machines actually use floating point DSPs, at
Lossless compression is what people generally call programs like WinZip.
When you compress a file with WinZip, it takes up less space and when you
decompress it you get the exact same data that you compressed. In other
words, it doesn't lose any data in the compression and decompression
I don't think cassettes were *ever* considered "high-end." When they were
introduced, the quality of reel-to-reel tape was vastly superior... just
hard to take with you on a jog ;) Cassettes were introduced as a
portable, but lower-quality, music source.
You're right. Regardless of the
external factors (what is being recorded, where it's being used, how
much it costs, etc...)
...with more to come, I'm sure...

Where I can truly see a use, is for lecture / seminar recording, or
personally for recording audio books.
Agreed. As a student myself, I have toyed with the idea of recording
lectures on my Sharp MT-831. Though it's not LP by any measure, I can still
assure quite a bit of
Anyone else noticed that the remote on this machine is of a very poor build
quality. Mine started to lose the silver coating around the round STOP
button and I've only had it a week!
One of the main problems reported on Minidisc.ch with the Sharp MT-831 is
that the paint comes off the unit.
Does the system allow titling via USB keyboards as well?
If you have a USB-PS/2 adapter, they can :-)
Does such a beast even exist?

Umm... you can't play MiniDiscs on it, so I guess it really isn't an issue

I think I understand the confusion

I am looking to buy an MD minisystem on a very tight budget. I can get
a refurbished (which is fine with me) Aiwa XR-H66MD for around $190
shipped.
I don't know much about the unit itself, but I have heard that Aiwa stopped
supporting MiniDisc technology in it's new products. I don't know
Now, what I recomend doing is, if you have a CD or DVD player with optical
output, use WinAmp (or whatever) to convert to PCM WAVs, and burn CD-Rs or
CD-RWs with Nero. I like Nero over CDRWIN because I can easilly set the
intertrack gap to whatever I want, and has an on the fly rec level

The real culprit in this battle is the RIAA, whose silly rules create the
problem in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that, for legal
reasons, every consumer device capable of recording digital audio sold in the
US must be classified as either an audio recorder or a computer
