Actually I just read a lil bit more on this ATRAC3 stuff, kinda confusing. So if I record in PCM quality then theres no problems...I can just go from the MD to Sonicstage to my ipod or computer or burn it to a cd. But if I record in any kinda of ATRAC3 bitrate then I have to go from my MD to SonicStage, and then I have to convert it to mp3 (which I read was difficult) before I can use it in any media players? And I also read somewhere that you cant use ATRAC files on any other computer besides the one you first put it on because of copyright laws or something? Can someone clear this up for me cuz if I can't record more than an hour and 30 minutes on PCM thats pretty lame. I'd like to be able to record longer and move the files around somewhat freely between computers, and be able to convert to mp3.

Sweet, thanks for the reply. Sounds like it's easy to use and I just noticed that the H4 info doesn't say anything about a line input which is a huge drawback for me. So looks like i'm picking up a Song MD.

Im looking to buy something that easily records dj sets for me, whether its at my house or in a random club. Should I go with the... Handheld Recorder or Minidisc Player Also I heard minidisc players were a pain in the butt when it comes to moving files from the MD to the PC, any truth to this? And how do I hook it to the mixer, do I just get a banana cord and hook it to the RCA record out of my mixer? Is that the only extra piece I would need to record? Thanks in advance for any help...
