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.

That's one technique I have tried, with mixed
success. The real trouble came from the lousy
unshielded VCR cabinet, and this JVC machine
spewed crap from the bottom of the MW band
to the VHF lowband.

Have you noticed the same thing, Craig?
