Thanks, >> Well, it depends on what kind of equipment you have, etc, but technicaly minidisc has the capability of being better than CD quality regardless. I have good stereo equipment and set-up and i've found that my minidiscs from vinyl come out in incredible quality... friends of mine who also have minidisc recorders have listened and wondered how i got them to sound so good, so maybe my results aren't typical. However, CD-R would probably be a waste of money because the sound what be equal or worse, but the advantage with mini discs is they are fully editable... you can erase the first few seconds of the record when nothing is playing, you can erase the blank areas when the record ends.... I love my minidisc player.

Similar but different : I have finally made a mix CD-R comprising tracks re-expanded from MP3's and the sound quality is remarkably 'usable' for playing out, except for some clipping, where the original encoding was obviously distorting (looking at the wave in SoundForge one can actually see squared waves).
