Is it limited to 44.1KHz? Converting wouldn't be a big issue though.

Yes, Sony MD is limited to 16-bit 44.1KHz which is fine considering
the mics typically plugged into them.

PCM (uncompressed) gets you 94 minute capacity on a single 1GB disk. I
use this mode when going straight into the line inputs from a mixer or
whatever.

The ATRAC compressed Hi-SP mode sounds very good to my ears and gets
475 minutes per disk. Very handy for most mic applications, where the
mics themselves or the preamps will be the limiting factor on audio
quality.

Eight hours on one disk: nice!
