Here's a MDLP faq:
http://www.minidisc.org/mdlpfaq.html
I downloaded the codec from that page and did some tests by encoding a
WAV file at various ATRAC bitrates. I find the LP2 bitrate to be quite
acceptable, and the LP4 bitrate to be unacceptable for music with a wide
stereo field, but perfectly acceptable for mono or narrow stereo
sources.
Try the codec for yourself and see if you find the compression
acceptable.
