I have a Sony MD portable and love it. This is my second one in the past four years. I do have to say that IPODs, and other flash and mini hard drive units are attractive, too for portable use.
I used a compressed ATRAC file for listening on this unit and can get 160 minutes of audio on one disc. The sound quality is comparable to higher bit MP3 and very good for music on the go.
As for the home MD units and noncompressed ATRAC-I just think that it never caught on here. The portable units are great though and since they can do field recording also are unique.
