Well, that does make sense, that it would lose sound quality because of the
compression. But it will compress going into the computer, too. And once
they get it figured out how we can transfer from MD into the computer in
stereo, that part will be solved. To transfer onto disc most people
compress into MP3s anyway, wav files take up as much disc space as they do
drive space.......

If you delete the files from the hard drive, though, and toss your LPs, what
happens if your CD goes kaput? Because from what I understand, homemade CDs
that we burn ourselves have a limited shelf life. I've also been wanting to
put all my LPs onto disc, but this has been holding me back.

A minidisc is really useful - good for recording yourself, groups, etc.
They are definitely not a waste of money. If you want to hear how my MD and
Audiograbber did recording my clarinet choir, go to
