In my MD there is the Stereo, LP2 and LP4 modes that I could choose. When set to LP2 I can store about 150 minutes of music. The quality is good.

I haven't tried recording on LP4 mode but I believe you double the mins.

thanx for the responce guys :)

hey sage man, that's nice, if you record in LP4 mode does quality drop?
Dmatrox
LP4 is approximately 66kbps

and LP2?
TranceGeek
if you're listnening on your earphones, you won't be able to tell the difference between lp4 and stereo really... but i think in lp4 you can record like 6 hrs of music on one 80 mind MD
P`zazz
so the biggest mini disc is 80min and there's some modes like LP2 and LP4 that let you fit more onto it?
TranceGeek
yep, there's stereo mode, which is the best quality, and thats 80 min, then there's lp2 mode which is 160 min i think, and lp4 which is either 5 or 6 hours...
P`zazz
that's cool :D

whats the quality of lp2 in bitrates? since Lp4 is 66kbps does that make LP2 128kpbs and better?

What about netMDs ??

What's the difference between a normal md player? Can you store the music as a mp3 format ??

Yes the quality does drop everytime you increase the length of the minidisc, but if you going to be listening through headphones the change in quality isnt very noticeable. But beware that not many minidiscs actually have the LP function, and even if you purchase an MD player that does have LP mode, if u record in LP4, and want to listen to u minidisc on another system, this other system must also be LP compatible. Hope that made sense :\
