I'm TOTALLY new to this, and my question has probably been asked a million times - Is minidisc appropriate to use for home live recording - I am interested in recording myself playing the piano. Can anyone recommend a decent minidisc model with an internal mike and the ability to manually adjust the recording levels? Also, what about an external stereo microphone? Does minidisc offer the same flexibility that cassette does, such as start and stop, record over, etc. Thanks!
