Wrong, Arnie. Robert's experience of minidisc is obviously as limited

Who said anything about live recording? As for home recording, no one
said there's a problem if you avoid MD, only that you're depriving
yourself of a very fine and versatile product if you do.

the disc being enclosed in a plastic case.

>> vastly better editing options.

>No way!

Explanation. And please don't talk about computers. For the purposes
of this discussion the computer is in another room, as it is in most
homes.
