Digital copies do not degrade, unless the software or the user does
something to it.
I've had friends who would copy CDs not realizing that their PCs would
make MP3s and then make CDs from them - that was degradation, and
contributes to copy degradation myths...
And MD is probably the most robust digital storage around, due to the
magneto-optical recording process, according to some people I know.
I have also found that even the cheaper MDs record just as well as
premium, though I have not done exbhaustive testing. Has anyone else
here?
