Has this been addressed before?
I've found that when recording from tapes, most of the time the sound is
*better*. Some subtle differences in the high frequencies, making it sound
a bit crisper in the treble clef, or as someone had mentioned earlier on
the list, just a hint of being "tinny".
Does anyone get that type of sound when recording CDs onto an MD?
Also, I believe someone had mentioned (or thought) that copying a record
onto an MD would sound horrible. Why would that be so?

Hi Erick,
You pose a question that most of MD-L (the MD mailing list) would be
happy to answer. I'm forwarding my answer there because others may
wish to reply also. I suggest you join (or read the archives) to get
all the replies.

In a word, MDs sound great. They're much closer to CDs than to tapes,
both in their use and in their sound quality. The main benefit though
for me, is that they do not degrade like tapes do. You can record a CD
to MD and play it over and over and use it for years and leave it
lying around and it always sounds great, it never gets that wrinkly
sound that tapes are so prone to having after a few years.

You can hook up an MD recorder to your home stereo just as you would a
tape deck. Records recorded to MDs reportedly sound great.
