warning--not all mini disc recorders have microphone jack inputs.
they are colored red on sony ones. they have "optical" input jacks
whatever the hell those are...and they are apparently only for up-and-downloading ready made music...not for live applications.
do not get fooled into buying a mini disc recorder with no mic
capabilities, as I did by a bungling, ill-informed sales guy.
I hear that many of the new ones do not have live recording inouts
due to some folks recoreding concerts then selling them on the internet.
good luck! and if you get any chimorro recordings, can I offer
copies to my daughter's in-laws who are from guam?
