Subject: storing BBC tape programs on minidisc?

Of course, before anyone answers in general terms I'd have them remember
that the BBC tape encoding (well the Electron does anyway, so I'd assume . .
.) uses a sine wave, not a square one like every other micro ever invented,
but I wonder : would the compression applied when saving on every day, run
of the mill minidiscs prevent a BBC being able to decode its saved files?
And what about if they were instead stored in mp3 format? Has anyone tried
any of these combinations?
