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

Yes, would work.

input.

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

Sure, if you have a computer next to your radio.

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

I've heard of these, not sure what models.

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

Would work great, just see what is best for your needs.

Thanks for any help,
Dan

Maybe you've already thought of this and dismissed it, but for long
recording I still use the audio input on an old VCR (remember them?).
Six or 8 hours of good quality stereo recording on one tape, then you
can dub it back into any format you choose.

I use my VCR to tape late night Art Bell since my versacorder has
broken down, it is good because I can play it over the stereo speakers
like it was live and the audio quality is excellent.

For recording of stuff off SW to archive, I use my Sony digital
recorder, I download the files via the USB cable and then burn it onto
a CD. I perfer CD's since I can change tracks quick, very useful when
you are looking through archives.
