Yes it actually is ... each is a different wave form. But what counts is whether
we hear a difference.

Although it's a while ago since I wrote it .. check out
http://www.minidisc.org/format_comparison.html. I firmly
believe you can tell the difference between ATRAC 4.5 MD and CD ...
BUT "only" on certain pieces of music and "only" using A/B switching.
With ATRAC 3.0 you don't need A/B switching.
For those that flash back to this article .... I'll admit using Xing for
the MP3 encoding was not the best option at the time ... but
MD still kicks MP3's arse anyday with any MP3 encoder at 128bit rate.

Not worth as much as my house .. but the whole system is worth over $25,000.
And I use MD *extensively* .... CD is my preferred medium ... but MD has
completely taken over Compact Cassette for me (and to a lesser extent LP).
Long Live MD. :)
