Subject: mini disc yet again

from a sony webpage:

http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/md/md_tech.html

"Did you know that sounds you can’t even hear might be altering your
listening
experience? Believe it or not when two sounds of
different frequencies are played at
different volumes a louder sound can completely hide a
quieter one. Up until now
recording devices picked up both noises leaving in
hidden audio that used up valuable
recording space.

Today Sony Minidisc users take advantage of Adaptive
Transform Acoustic Coding
(ATRAC) to get sound that is both clean and efficient.
ATRAC technology records only
the sound frequencies that the human ear is most
sensitive to and not unwanted
feedback and chatter that may be hidden by louder but
similar sounds"

yeah, who wants to hear all those soft instruments?
