At the end of the day atrac is just a big math algorithm. The speed at which
the algorithm is applied does not matter. Mp3 is also just a big math
algorithm, but you don't encode your MP3's at 1x do you? :-) The only other
limit I can think of is the speed at which the platter of the actual disc
can be spun, but considering most MD players/recorders use a buffer, it
means that they spin the disc faster than 1x anyway. The reason why pc<>md
is still so scarce is just because I think the recording companies (like
Sony), are afraid they are going to loose to much royalties if it is that
easy to copy pirated music to minidisc. The Net-MD technology might change
this, although I have my doubts on this. It looks like the Net-Md will be
too restrictive (copyright wise) and too regulated :-(
Hope this helps
