The most obvious solution to this would be to put the ATRAC encoding on the
computer end. This means that only 1/5th of the data would need to be sent
down the USB interface. If you kept the data rate the same, this would
result in 5x recording! You can output CD data at 6x on USB (assuming no
other hi-level hardware devices are in use on the USB line) so this would
result in 30x record speed if the MD could keep up! Imagine... recording a
74minute disc in just over 2 minutes.... :o)
