I have some friends who recorded a show with one of those minidiscs. They recorded the event in October but I've yet to see a copy due to the difficulty they're having in doing the same. I'm not sure if that problem is due to their lack of expertise with the item or their lack of gear.

It seems to me that if you can use the program to edit the recorded material that your computer should allow a transferance of the sound files to another program within your computer and ultimately to your cd burner.

Having seen folks recording with these at jams and workshops during weekend getaways I've been curious about their potential and thought about getting one myself but I would want clarification about this very issue as I would want to use it for the same purpose.

There must be a website with support for it online somewhere or an 800 number to call for help in the tech data that came with the unit in question. I'll take a quick look on the net and see.
