Recording is easy on the 800.
After you record the song .. save to your usb.
Transfer the mp3 file from your usb to the pc.
A fast, cheap way to burn on a pc is itunes, and it's free. Drag the mps into a playlist - hit the "burn" button and it will happen.
That mps recording feature is the easiest thing to do on the pa800. It's 2 button puses and has worked flawless everytime for me....even if I start up the recorder MID song!
