MD vs CD?

Greetings,

I am a long-time MD user. I am now considering purchasing a MD receiver for my car.

I, however, read somewhere that CDs can be burned with ATRAC compression. I don´t know if special hardware is required to do it, or if it´s only a matter of software. I also have no idea how the sound of an ATRAC CD compares to the sound of a LP2 MD.

I have a MZ-R500 and a MDs-S50 deck. I also have a CD burner installed on my PC.

I would like to hear some opinions about which receiver would you buy and why.

Any opinions/suggestions will be much appreciated. Txs much in advance!

Randy

Check the end of this thread for links to a fileshare of Sonic Stage 2.0 (the links at the beginning have been taken down). You can download the software and convert some of your stuff to ATRAC on your computer and see how it sounds. I'm assuming when you burn ATRAC files to a CD you can adjust how you record them (SP/LP2/LP4) to get the sound you want.

Good luck!
