Can I record workshops, then to CD on a Mac? Easily?

[Guest Anonymous]

I'll be attending an ukulele workshop for a weekend and was planning on getting a cassette recorder to record the lessons (with the instructors' permissions, of course). But should I get a minidisc instead?

I don't need an MP3 player (I have an iPod), I just want to be able to record folks playing as well as their voice instruction, then transfer it on to CDs using my Mac G4 (OSX). I'd really like having the CDs as an end result, that's why I'm considering a minidisc recorder.

Is an MD overkill if this is all I want it for? If not, which model(s)?

Getting an MD for this is not overkill, I'd say it's just perfect. Depending upon your budget there are alot to choose from. Ranging from second hand to latest model. Read on in this and live recording and you find the info you need.
