Even with the newest models that sup****t Apple Lossless format? Even if
they aren't considered good enough for classical music, that's a pretty
small market.

Good question. But I don't think that a few drawbacks will limit sales of
all digital recorders. The original MD units had drawbacks as well (from

lost to ATRAC compression), but they had enough advantages over cassette
tape that they sold well worldwide.
