the Edirol R-1 is $450!!
that's on my wish list ... i think M-audio also has a 2track flash
recorder coming out soon too.
i have a sony minidisc and i use it for some recording ... it's not
awful but the biggest problem is sony's asshatted concept of
copy-protection, which means there is no digital output on their
consumer minidisc recorders, so you are forced to output an analog
signal to transfer material off the discs.
the edirol flash recorder will allow you to just drag-n-drop via the
flash card. if they're smart they'd have a USB port on it too so you
can use the recorder as a mountable filesystem. i don't have the specs
handy so i dunno if they've done this or not.
anyways, no moving parts == much better recording quality.
