The Bends

I am having a tough time getting my head around the possibilities of the new hi-md format. I have historically used minidisc to record cd's optically through a cd player and recorde the occasional live show. I am excited about the new format. I plan on using it to transfer files from wok to home as well as for the music. I am planning on getting the top o the line mainly for the smaller size and the promise of a the nice remote. I was salivating over the mz-e10 player for the size, but this model is close to the size and can hold so much music. What would be the best way to get high quality (LP2-ish) music to my Hi-Md and allow for the most music on a single disc?
