<<so what would you use for inexpensive sound recording in the field.>>
I'd use a minidisc recorder hands down. I don't know about copying CDs onto minidisc, but recording live music on my Aiwa minidisc, either by microphone or plugged into a soundboard, is good enough quality for me. I'm not an audiophile, but I am a discriminating musician, and while I understand that many people swear they can tell the difference between a CD whose original source was DAT vs. MD... They must have superhero hearing. To me it's like those people who can smell the difference between a $500 bottle of wine and a $5000 bottle. Maybe they can, but I'm perfectly happy with a great $40 cabernet. I'm pretty much set up now with my Live music>Aiwa Am-F80 MD>iMic>Powerbook G4>Soundstudio>Discribe>Que!Fire external burner>CD.
