Not likely japan is buying up MDs faster than they can stock them.
Also the point of MD is it is a disc format someone looking into md
for that would not want a dat. Just the supply in japan is enough for
sony to keep making them for a while. And also just about every major
electornic company now makes at least one type of md unit and djs use
them now instead of those old carts they had.

 With the TCD D8 if you

I would actully prefer dats for live recording show and stuff but
their is causes where md is better for home listening. For the fact it
acts like a cd on does not have the tape wear or head contact of dats.
Als th life span is much longer and cna be played much longer without
nioticable wear.
