MD: Some food for thought/fuel for discussion...

[Don Capps]

...I have noted with some interest that several list members apparently
record mp3 files from their computers onto minidisc. Apparently, from what
I've read here and on the several webboards devoted to minidisc, this is a
rather common practice. In light of this, how do you all feel about the fact
that mp3 files recorded to minidisc have been subjected to rather heavy data
compression, not once, but twice? This, it would seem to me, would have a
definite effect on fidelity. Even well encoded mp3 files may have been
subjected to compression ratios as high as 10 : 1. Not to mention the added
ATRAC compression of the minidisc recording process itself. Any thoughts on
this?

And, as I pointed out previously, I'm new to the list, so you'll have to
forgive me if this has been discussed before.
