If you use a boom box system, you would have to use a preamp to bring
the mike level up to the "line-in" level. It works on the home deck
units, the boom box would have to have a Line-in input for that to work.
My guess is that a preamp and boom box would be a little less prone to
being lifted because they are bigger.
The separate recorder is a lot handier for recordeing though. If it
were me, I would go with the portable recorder. You can get a deck or
md boom box to play it back or if youwnat to save a little money you can
just use a tape cassette boom box and one of those cassette tape
adaptors to play the MD through the boom box. I do it all the time and
also use it in the car the same way.
For a mike, the one Idesigned works well, and if you are a little bit
handy, or can find someone that is, you can make a stereo mike for about
$10 US, or somewhere around 2 to 3 quid. I think someone said Maplins
carries the mike elements. here are the instructions

This mike is powered from the portable MD unit, so it won't work with
the preamp and deck/boom box combination.
The mike has a very good output and the MD units have a wide dynamic
range. As such you don't need a battery box to record solo or
unamplified music. If you are trying to record loud rock concerts, the
battery box with a bass roll off filter, will drop the level to where it
can be recorder. Since I just record band practices, jam sessions and
amplified acoustic music, I haven't bothered with building a battery box
and haven't needed it.
