I agree, Al. The new handheld recorders are more user-friendly, they're
not crippled with software (Sonic Stage), and you can transfer your files
quickly and easily to pc via USB 2.0. Minidisc should have had at least
that last feature years ago.
I've looked at Zoom H2 and Edirol R09, bought an Edirol R09 for my
girlfriend for a gift. The Edirol is very easy to use. Zoom is a bit
cheaper, maybe not quite so user-friendly. There are several other
similar
products from Tascam, M-Audio, and even Sony.
