looking for these features

[moose]

I am new at this MD thing and am researching to buy one that will record from CDs played in a Macintosh computer or from an analog CD player. I also would like it to have a FM radio if possible. Also, I would like to use speakers as well as head set to listen to it and also get a microphone to record voice in a lecture setting. Is there such an all in one MD device that call do most or all of these things? And what microphone or speakers are recommended?

thanks, moose

the 755

they both have a:

FM radio

Can record from Analog CD player

Record from Macintosh (analog)

Capable of recording with a microphone

I'm not sure if u can use a head set AND speaker at the same time...

Recommended Microphone: if u want good quality.. go for a stereo sony one...

Speakers... any speakers will do really...

I would wait till Sony releases the next 7## model with fm/am support. I'm sure that one will be netmd.

thanks to those that responded.

I emailed Sony corp and their answer is that their software for MDs is not compatible with Mac computers and they know of no 3rd party software that is. Maybe another brand? Does anyone with a Mac have a minidisc recorder/player that they use to copy cds quickly to their mds?
