Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your responses. I love this online community thing! Sounds like I'm not going to find a deck, and that if I want a second minidisc recorder/player to have in my studio (so I can download files to my Mac for editing while the other one is on the road), that I'm going to have to buy another Sony MZ-M200, or the MZ-RH1. Would you recommend one over the other?? I was looking for a lower cost solution, but I guess MD is on it's way out....so not many options. Ok, another question: What is the next generation of portable audio recording devices? Just using a good mic, good interface software and a laptop??
