I don't quite follow this argumentation: It is true that HD based digital recorders have advantages to DATs, but they still have some disadvantages as well. Obviously reliability is actually _the_ factor in any recording environment. But the main advantage of a DAT is unlimited recording capability. Just eject the tape and put in another one. Can't beat that with any HD based recorder - yet.
Johannes,
A single DAT can hold just 2 hours of continuous uncompressed CD-quality digital audio. My lowly first-generation 5GB iPod can hold 7.3 hours of same, and the current top-line model can hold almost 30 hours.
iPods can handle CD-quality audio? I have been under the impression that iPods operate with compressed audio, like MP3s.
I was also under the impression that the iPod used battery-backed RAM for storage, rather than a hard drive. Am I wrong about that, too? You own one, so I imagine you know about what you speak.
