I'm trying to come up with some ideas for recording radio broadcasts
from 2-4 hours long. What would be some options for doing this?

I've seen the VersaCorder from CCrane. Are these any good?

Some other ideas I've thought of, a

- Recording through the computer to a large HD in MP3 format. Then,
burn to CD. (Although, my car CD player doesn't play MP3s...)


You could burn to CD in a music format by converting to wav files and then
burning the disk. However you would need multipl disks.


- Is it possible to record in MP3 format to a MiniDisc recorder? If
so, what is the time capacity?


There are new models coming out next month. Here is a link to one.

Note that some MD recorders do not have line inputs. Select your model
carefully.


- Record to an HD-based MP3 player that allows recording via line
input.

- Record to computer HD in MP3 format and copy to a HD-based MP3
player.


That would work.


- Are there any dual-cassette decks that will record on BOTH cassette
drives (and has auto-reverse)?

(Is MiniDisc technology obsolete and past? I've never had one.)

Thanks for any help,
Dan


You can also record 6 hours of audio on VHS tape.
