MD's got a big strike against it: the proprietary perceptual encoding.

Newest version of MD will record WAV files, which is a Good Thing but I
think the data pack is tighter. I'd never archive to a format that
needs
both hardware and decoding software to play it and is obscure enough
that
the players are far from ubiquitous in their heyday.
One man's opinion, YMMV, etc.
