I think, that Minidisc will be the best solution for a long time, if you want powerful editing functions on the recorder itself. With the Sony PCM-D50, you can divide tracks while and after recording, but you cannot combine, as one can with Minidisc. The Marantz PMD620 has a function called copy segment, with which one should be able to isolate a certain portion of a file, which one wants to quickly upload. However, this portion has to be written to a card, which may take relatively long, if the passage is several hundred megs big. No flash recorder offers the nice rehearsal, which makes setting trackmarks on Minidiscs so powerful. The Plextalk PTR2 can do it, but it has other disadvantages, when it comes to editing, it doesn't make the space of deleted audio available in a lot of situations for instance. <*** Michael Lang ***> Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
