I don't know if I would trust recording directly to a CDR. I'm always
concerned that perhaps the unit would get bumped, or the disc could be
bad or something.

I highly recommend Marantz's PMD670 compact flash recorder. It has an
internal mic, XLR with phantom power, and easy to use, clear buttons and
stuff. I use this unit a lot to record. I have a 2 Gig Compact Flash
cartridge, and I can get over 3 hours of stereo, uncompressed
recordings. Transferring it to the computer is a piece of cake, you can
either take the flash cartridge out or hook it up via USB.
