If you really want to test the difference between MD and cassette try
recording a cricket!  You will see a MARKED difference in fidelity of
the two recording media.

I, like Rich, turned up at the Cornell field recording class with use a
Sony 
minidisc recorder as well as a Marantz cassette tape recorder.  I
learned on 
both, but during the course spent most of my time learning on the
Marantz.  
It was SO easy to screw up levels with it (virtually impossible on the 
minidisk), and the danged thing is so bulky, that I find that I've only
taken 
it out a couple of times since the course, while my minidisk comes with
me 
everywhere.  I want to shoot some identical sounds into both to compare 
spectrographs, but to my ear the minidisk recordings are purer (no
background 
tape hiss) and no loss for improper level settings.

nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the
