Differences with a Tape-Type MTR

Unlike DAT recorders, which use tape, digital disk recorders record perfor-

mances (sounds) on a disk, as do MD recorders. Music that is recorded on

disk can be recalled and played back immediately, no matter where it is located

on the disk. This is also obvious from the difference in speed at which you can

move to the beginning of a song on a DAT recorder and on an MD recorder.

The ability to freely move to data regardless of the time or sequence at which it

was recorded is known as random access. In contrast, having to move to data

in the order of the time or sequence at which it was recorded is known as

sequential access.
