I didn't mean to impune either mini-disks or CDs--I was just saying that recording(in any medium) for personal use is a lot different from taking what you have recorded and editing it down to a CD that you can later give out--(I am over the edge here, and putting way to fine a point on this, I know, I was just mentioning it in passing)

An analogy would be the difference between making written notes for future personal use, and making written notes that are later turned into say, an instruction manual--

Not a major point, just a thought--really, just a thought--everyone go back to the discussion of Cool Edit, which is actually useful--
