No, one is just "better". ATRAC 4 is what is in consumer grade MD
equipment, 4.5 is in Sony's "home studio" grade equipment. What is in pro
studio mastering equipment is quite possibly somethin

Sony ATRAC 4 vs. 4.5. The difference is primarilly in tweaks made to the
psychoaccoustic model used by the encoder. It is most definitely possible
to tweak the mod

I listen to classical music on both CD and MD. I
would estimate that approximately 1/2 my 1,750 CDs are
of classical music.
I have never bought a pre-recorded MD (I would like
to; but I can't find anything for sale that I want).

subject to the differences between CD and MD than other sorts of music.
Is that true? Are the differences noticeable in mid-quality headphones?
Maybe I should
