Dolby C works well.

But not as well as minidisc. :-)

Yes.
In some kinds of use, I've found high quality cassette
can fool the ear. Seems to do well with orchestra. But I
did a test using an ordinary, speaking human voice,
which happened to be mine. The odd-order harmonic
distortion was quite obvious. High bias tapes produced
more noticeable distortion than low bias.

But mindisc is better.

But why not just burn CDs? It's cheap, and very very
good.

We've got to highlight this post. For once Morein said something that makes
sense!

Minidisc is better.

It takes a lot of eye-closing to reach that conclusion.

More compact,

My living room is big enough to not be taxed by storing CDs. Ditto for my
car and even backpack.

Let's face it, if you want to do live recording today, you'll use a
flash-based recorder. If you're working at home, there's no problem if you
completely avoid MD.

My MD recorder is one of the worst audio investments I ever made.

less vulnerable,

vastly better editing options.

No way!

Just better.

MDs are perceptually coded, for *approximately* good sound.
