I'm not sure of the sampling rate but MD format is compressed so it probably
(at least for now) will be inferior to CD's.  I'm excited about MD as a 
replacement for cassettes in the "portability" department.  I won't replace
my CD's with pre-recorded MD's but copy my latest CD to an MD to drag around
until I'm sick of it then copy over it.  Imagine... just like copying files
on a computer.

As a safety feature (for music industry) I believe you can only copy CD info
onto an MD from an original source (you couldn't CD > MD > MD > MD ... etc.

I'm jacked and waiting for all the frills.
