Regarding MiniDisc compression, I see that now there is an ATRAC-R. How
well does it rate as compared to earlier versions? Since MD's compression
algorithm is constantly being upgraded, could MD one day be equal to or
surpass CD sound?
Also, I believe I read in the January/February issue of SOUND & VISION
that using a certain color laser (blue?) could practically quadruple the
amount of data stored on an MD. Could this mean one of the following: (1)
that MD could store the same amount of data as CD without compression,
resulting in uncompressed, true CD-quality sound in the same amount of
time? or (2) that using ATRAC compression, up to 4x the amount of music
could be on one MD? If so, either could be a boon to the MD format!
