To go back to the original post, for the moment, I actually prefer recording with a Sony Minidisc recorder and a good stereo mic in certain live situations. The recorder is very small and unobtrusive - I always carry battery spares and spare discs - and I can leave it running for an hour without worry. I then use Garageband or Audacity on my Mac laptop to upload the files and process as necessary. I've also recorded directly in to Audacity on the Mac using a USB mic - sounds fine - and with a mono mic via an Edirol converter box - also fine.
