Thanks to Clinton and others I am now capable of making my own CDs off my Sony HD minidiscs. (Still haven't figured out how to upload the Netdisc analog stuff. grrrrrrr I have a number of regular discs.) I bought my Sony and discs at a Sony dealership.

But I have only one HD disc - one of these times I'll get more - and that's the one I use, through SonicStage and the USB cord. Slick as a vissel.

After I am finished with the current accumulation of recording and CD creating I erase the HDdisc and am ready for the next recording date.

Each month at our Folk Club I record the entire evening then take it home, insert track marks and erase the extraneous bits, then make two CDs for each set that played that night. (If there was more than one performer per set, they make their own copies)
The idea is that everybody will have a souvenir of their night on stage.

I first used AA alkaline batteries but eventually bought the rechargeable 4-battery unit. After they are charged I keep the whole kit together, ready to go.
