Currently, .mp3 players are all the hype. Everyone has one, and if you don't, you're old-fashioned. I do not have an .mp3 player. I tried to have one, but for various reasons it did not please me. I'm a MiniDisc guy. I've always been. MiniDisc has some serious advantages over .mp3 players, whether they be flash or HDD based. Note: Sunday Eve Column.

Sorry, I just checked with Google and I was remembering past comment threads, it seems you never posted it as an article before - mea culpa.
I agree with the recent poster about ATRAC3, though. Every properly conducted blind test I've seen doesn't score it very highly. Well-encoded MP3 is much better than many people think; most people are familiar with crappy CBR MP3 encodes with nasty high-end distortion, but a good encode with lame is pretty competitive with Vorbis, AAC, WMA and the like.
