How does recording PC audio to MiniDisc compare to using CD-R or CD-RW?
MiniDisc gives you greater versatility, in a more durable format. As noted above, MD gives you editing options that recordable CDs just can’t. Blank MiniDiscs are as affordable as audio CD-Rs or CD-RWs, but unlike those discs, MDs can be rewritten up to a million times. And MiniDiscs are virtually indestructible, unlike scratch-sensitive CDs. To learn more, see our article All About MiniDisc. Recording to CD has its advantages, too. Unlike a MiniDisc, a CD-R or CD-RW will play in many CD and DVD players. And you can record MP3s as data directly to a CD-R or CD-RW (giving you up to ten times the storage of a regular CD), then play the disc back on compatible home, car, and portable CD players.
