Good news if you can carry the blank media, keep it scratch free, have the
time and a place to plug-in! (And either a great deal of confidence in the
device, or a CD player capable of reading CD-data disks...) It would be
nice to be able to back up camera CF as well though...
For me those requirementss are not always true, alas. It'll be hard to go
"backwards" to such solutions when I've grown so used to the convenience
of cheap, reliable MD.... :/
Might keep me recording 16/44 on Hi-MD if it ever actually arrives... :)
