Dan,

The computer is defanately the way to go. You can record using
several different codecs making the wav files quite small. Then you
can convert these wav files to MP3 as you indicated.

I use a program called VRS Recording System (VRS v3.05). It is made
by NCH Swift Sound their website is: http://www.nch.com.au

They have a trial version you can download. The compression is so
good you can record 2 years of 24 hour-a-day audio on a 32GB hard
drive! I have been using the trial version and simply reloading it.
Since you only need one channel recorded at a time you can purchase
their basic version for $24 US if you wish.

Hope this helps.

Homac

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...)

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

- 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.

- 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
