Product Suggestions For Home Recording

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi everyone...I kinda searched through the forums here and didn't
really see a lot on this. I am looking to purchase a minidisc
recorder. My use is primarily for recording personal songwriting
sessions. I would like to record myself with my guitar/piano and
singing. I would also like to be able to label the track with a name
to remember it by. I have looked at a sony one with a built in speaker
which looks nice so I don't have to buy a separate microphone and I can
carry it with me sometimes to other places. I have other songwriter
friends that have suggested Sharp products b/c they have great gain and
the gain is also adjustable. Any suggestions?? Any would be
appreciated! Oh...if it has a usb/computer hook-up that would be nice
too. ;-)
