Re: mp3 player/recorder

I'm getting good results with my Sony MD (Mini-Disc) walkman. I got a tiny Sony stereo mic that plugs in to the pocket-sized unit. At rehearsals and lessons, I just set it on a chair someplace.

I'm still using the original mini-disc; and it seems to be tolerating being overwritten time and time again. If more storage were needed between offloads, a handful of mini-discs could be used.

The Sony software --for offloading your recordings-- hasn't been very useful; but I haven't recorded anything that absolutely has to be downloaded to my computer --so I'm waiting for more pressure to learn how to do that.

The only operational problem I've had is that it takes a looonnnnggggg time for the unit to write the recorded (remembered) file to the mini-disc. This is a pain when you want to record several different pieces on separate tracks on the disc. Example: you can't save the first piece you've rehearsed before the conductor wants to start on the next --this means that I often have a two hour long track to wade through after orchestra practice.
