Many of the problems you cite seem to be endemic to minidiscs (at least the Sony models). They have been designed primarily as playback machines, so live recording features are lame and the ability to dump from MD to computer is restricted. All the more reason to look at the Edirol recorders, though they are pricier (bad news for Rick, who probably wants to stay with the MD format anyway). One thing that's interesting about the Edirol R-4 is that it can do four tracks simultaneously. Great for surround sound. It's definitely a pro model though. Considering that I already have a PowerBook and a Mobile I/O I'm already covered, but the compactness factor is attractive. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
