Hi Gary and Kevin. Thanks for your advice. Kevin, unfortunately copying in real time (which I gather is what you're suggesting) isn't an option for me due to its longevity, but the suggestion was appreciated. Also, I'm unable to put Goldwave on the laptop I'm borrowing, but have previously found it very helpful and will be going back to it when I get my new computer. Gary, thanks for your suggestions, but as I said I think such machines require the same discs as my stand alone recorder, so it wouldn't make any difference to me.
I guess what I'm trying to find out is whether there's any machine (apart from computers, obviously) which record straight onto hard drives or SD cards, allowing you to conveniently shift files straight to a laptop without the need to record in real time or edit anything.
