That's a possability yes.
I've had the recorder for a little over a week now I think it is and
there's quite a bit to it which I still have to learn.
I've got the recording/copying procedures pretty much worked out so I
now have to see if I can work out how you edit audio tracks, I know
there's a way as the manual says so but then again the manual is over
200 pages and takes some patience to go through.

Hi when you get sometime and get more in to this hard drive recorder?
Are you thinking of maybe of doing A podcast describing it and show us some of
what it can do?

Subject: [all-audio] Notes on the Yamaha CDR-HD1500 Hard Drive Recorder
Two words spring to mind when using this Hard Drive recorder and they
are flexibility and convenience.
Yamaha have added a CD Drive to this recorder you can copy to and from.
You’ll also find a set of digital and analogue inputs/outputs so yes the
recorder can record digital/analogue from other sources such as a
digital tuner or Cassette player.
The machine can be used as a DAC, connect a digital source to the
digital input and hear the resulting output through the analogue
connection jacks which is often better than the analogue you would hear
on the source itself.
Up until now I’ve used my computer systems to rip CD’S but given how
convenient the hard drive recorder is I don’t think I’ll be bothering
with the computer too much in the future for CD ripping for my personal
CD collection.
Copying a CD to the Hard Drive is as easy as inserting the CD, pressing
the “Copy” button and then pressing the “Play” button to start the CD
copy procedure, copying of a CD to the Hard Drive takes around 10 minutes.
The copy method I described above is the basic copy method and there are
others which are more advanced, you can select the track or tracks you
want copied from your CD for example so I’ll get to trying those methods
out in time.
Each CD copied using the recorder is put into a separate “Group” thus
one group per CD.
You can switch easily between “Group” and “Track” selection by pressing
the jog-dial which toggles between these two modes whilst in playback.
Added to this are the skip forward and back buttons thus you can switch
to “Group” mode and use the buttons to move between tracks in a group.
Editing functions are available to allow the user to put in names for
groups and tracks but I have no need for this as its easy enough for me
to identify the CD’S I’ve copied over by the tracks presented in each group.
You can mark favourite tracks and play them from you “Bookmark List”,
unfortunately the recorder only handles one Bookmark listing.
The recorder can use CDR or CDF-W discs for recording, pity the recorder
won’t handle CD-RAM discs as the Panasonic equipment does.
The recorder has a Headphone amp however the amp has problems as it
compresses the output sound at louder volumes.
Front panel controls are well laid out but I prefer to use the remote
control as the remote contains direct buttons to control more of the
recorders functions directly along with a numeric keypad with letters.
So that’s everything I’ve discovered about the recorder so far, I’ll
write to the list as I progress with the recorder.
