The guitarist in my band uses a Yamaha MD8S to record all our stuff. It compresses 1 
CD's worth of audio down to about 150MB (about 5x compression) by removing details 
from the signals that we can't hear (so I assume it works in much the same way as 
MP3). It records up to 8 tracks at once as completely separate entities & is supposed 
to have no noticeable degradation until the signal's been decompressed/compressed (by 
bouncing from track to track) about 1000 times, or something to that effect... Imagine 
if this "ATrack" codec was made available for personal computer use, & what Yamaha 
would want to do to anyone who worked out how to do it...
