thus quoth dic5340@hertz.njit.edu (David Charlap):
 The next question is that of capacity.  If the MD player is at CD
 quality, it will record at about 44,000 16-bit samples per second.  I
 believe the time-limit of a MD is 74 minutes.  This yields 44,000 x 74
 x 60 = 195360000 or 186MW or 372MB.  This is unformatted, of course.

*2 for stereo BUT
they use a lossy compression method to reduce the data to 8 bits
so this is correct

but we already have rewritable magneto-optical media for PC's
-- 
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming,
already in progress...
