From: "David W. Tamkin" [EMAIL PROTECTED] The lossiness of ATRAC is not orthogonal to the lossiness of MP3 encoding. If a song was on a CD but you have it as a 10:1 .mp3 file, and you play the .mp3 file as input to MD, the resulting MD track is 1/5, not 1/50, the size of the original CD track.

I have a few discs of light jazz that I've downloaded from MP3.COM. All of the material on MP3.COM seems to be recorded at 128Kbps. Some of the files are encoded better than others, but even the best seem to have a slightly edgy quality to the treble. I find the worst encoded files hard
