I would suggest that one size doesn't fit all. There are those that prefer the mini disc recorder for one reason or another. The fact that one can record on a mini disc up to a million times is one advantage of the mini disc recorder. The Sony units do come with software for uploading and downloading material. I am not sure how accessible this software is, as I have never loaded it. There are reporters in the field that are still using the Sony mini disc recorders to do their reporting work. It would be interesting to see what others have to say about mini disc recorders, and how they were able to use them without difficulty. . . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon Hicks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list." <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: Re: mini disc recorders?
