Jeroen,
You can record MP3 files on MD's and you can record them in 3 modes
for time of 80 min, and LP2 which will give you about 240 minutes
and LP4 for about the equiv. of 5 CDS...Wow. I have had one for 3-4
years and I have a digital hookup for the computer that is fiber.
These are all avail from places like Best Buys and Circuit
City..etc. Work very nice. Good luck
Roger

Subject: [kl] please: your advise on recording equipment

  Hello fellow clarinettists,

I would like to get some advice. I think many of you make (digital)
recordings of concerts, your own playing, that of students etc.

I have always record(ed) myself, concerts (but also my students)
with a
(mini)DAT recorder (Sony) for about 15 years now. Due to the fact
that I
only know a few (audio weirdo's) with a DAT player, I have to burn
the
digital DAT files (via PC) to a CD. Students, parents, friends can
enjoy
the music played by there loveone(s) on there CD-players.
But: my miniDAT recorder had “died”... And: Sony doesn't make them
anymore. Furthermore: the tapes are getting very, very expensive!
(And:
it´s a hell of a job to transfer the music to CD: it cost you lots
of
time!)

What is your advice. What can/should I buy as alternative?
I know that nowadays "the" standard is the MD (MiniDisk), but:
after
lurking the internet I think MD is not capable of transferring the
MD-files (or MP3 files on MD) directly (and digitally, by optical
link
for instance) to PC for burning on CD... Again: CD player is
standard,
only a few students have MD...

Are there other solutions, or is there (mini)recording equipment out
there for recording digitally (life on location) which can
(digitally)
be burned on CD (the newest Sony MD seems not capable of doing so,
due
to Sony´s anti copying policy ...)

]many thanx in advance!

Yours,
Jeroen T. Salm
