ATRAC compression is not MPEG compression. Read the MD FAQ before posting nonsense like this. http://www.connact.com/~eaw/minidisc/minidisc_faq.html As to the first poster's question, he doesn't state which revision of ATRAC compression his recorder has. Newer models make much better recordings than older ones do. He doesn't state whether he set the levels for recording correctly (of course, this is unnecessary when recording digitally). I have a feeling that one or the other of these (if not both) accounts for the effects he describes.
