The end of MD for serious recording
won't be due to ATRAC.  It will be
because devices with higher sampling
rates become affordable.  Just as
DAT replaced cassette tape, DVD-Audio
(24 bit samples at 96 or 192KHz) will
replace MD.  MD will become just another
way to play MP3s (Some would say this
day has already arrived).

Deva, Nagra and HHB are showing the way.
Some company is going to combine an
Apogee Mini-Me preamp with a 20GB
2.5inch removeable hard disk, price it 
at $1000, and start a revolution.

I will agree that minidisc is a great
place to start.  I recently bought a
couple of Sony MZ-R50s on Ebay for 
$100 each.  Combine with a used mic,
put a couple of AA batteries in your
pocket, and start recording.
