In the normal (SP) mode, you record 60, 74 and 80 minutes of stereo music. You
also have a LP mode that doubles the record capacity but the sound is monaural
not stereo.
New MD products have normal mode, mono LP mode and MDLP. MDLP consists in two
new modes: recordind durationx2 and x4 in STEREO!
The "normal" or SP mode encodes music at 292 kbp/s. If you want to increase the
recording time, your data must be more compressed. In LP2, data is encoded at
131 kbp/s. In LP4, at 66 kbp/s. You notice that LP2 isn't exactly the half of
SP (292/2=146) and LP4 isn't the 1/4 of SP (292/4=73).
The remaining bytes are used to allow backward compatibility. Non-MDLP products
won't read MDLP tracks but will be able to edit them.
In SP mode, you record in true stereo at 292 kbp/s= near-CD quality (maybe more
but it's another debate).
In LP2, you still record in stereo at 131 kbp/s = loss of quality
In LP4, you record at 66 kbp/s in JOINT-STEREO. First, your bitrate is very low
(encode a song in MP3 format at this bitrate and listen). Two, this is
joint-stereo. To gain place, LP4 searches for similarities in the stereo
channels and encode them in one step. AS a result, you will have a bad sound
due to a big compression (66 kbp/s) and joint-stereo (the channels are mixed
together).
