"MD still exists very well in audio-media market."
In the years ago, where computer is not so reliable for mastering, MD recorders are one of the safer option to recorder a stereo pair. It delivers the audio transparency too. It never fails to deliver the product i want and becomes now my backup tool for mastering mixdowns. A good and cost effective way to store in MDs.
