Thanks a lot, the headphone jack does seem to be the way so I had better go and see what is available and make a start with minidisc.org.

Rivers, that's interesting so what actual model would that be??
I think listening to what I can or cannot produce musically will be a help in moving my playing on and who knows I may even be brave enough to post a couple of bars here in due course :-X
I've just had a thought, maybe you could instigate "the catflap" for posts from novice's as compared to the "back porch" for up and running players ;D

Hi, being an old "taper" myself and a new member here, i dare a belated remark ... ;-)
Yes, though minidisks have never been very popular in the Americas, they still are the "quality" choice
for amateur and semi-pro recording in Europe and Asia. Compared to DAT they are more robust,
compared to mobile HD-recorders like the Archos JukeBox etc they are dirt cheap to buy and maintain.
Transfering from line/headphone out to the analogue inputs of a (good) sound card may be okay, but if
you have invested in a real good microphone set, the costs for an optical input and a used MD-deck with
optical output are negligable IMHO. And since the stored format on MD is lossy, it's always a good idea
to have lesser steps of "transcoding", especially if you want (or need) more editing ...
Cheers,
Muck
