Actually, my main reason for not liking CD-R's is the amount of data I'm
working with.  Sometimes I get 500-600mb wave files, and I end up using an
inordinate number of CDR's on a single recording project.  Once I get them
edited up they're smaller, but I don't always get the chance to do that.  It's
looking like tape drive, or what about DVD burners?  4.7GB seems like a good
size, and I wouldn't mind making movies in the future ;-)
