I still use Minidisc but not all that often, as far as I'm aware all Minidisc 
players and recorders use the Attrac format developed for the Minidisc recorder 
in the beginning though the format has undergone some changes over 20 years.

Even the Sony MD I have which connects to the computer and allows the importing 
of MP3 files etc doesn't store the files as MP3 on the Minidisc, the files are 
decoded and then re-encoded into ATTRAC format for the Minidisc to play/Edit so 
I'd imagine - if you're doing a direct digital copy - the signal will be 
compressed to the ATTRAC format and the sample rate selection will most likely 
be automatically selected for you unless otherwise specified by your particular 
Minidisc model.
