- Their is no competition on audio quality CD wins.
- CD's lack the ability to record.

- If I want a High quality recording system. that stands
- a chance of comming down in price.
- That can offer cheap prerecorded media.
- Then MD or DCC are it.
- both can be made cheper than RDAT.
- both players can be made cheper than RDAT
- current prices are heigh because its new.

- If you only look at audio quality you don't get the whole picture.
- The best audio quality is not what you want to take jogging, in your car or

- Price, convince, resilience are what come to mind.
