Thanks to ALL of you for your input ... for me the current overriding factor is budget priorities!!! At home I am struggling with a dinosaur of a pc that is constantly reminding me that I am running out of memory space... (I THINK it's referring to the computer, not me ?!? ) so I would have to invest in a new pc first ... I'll be looking for a used cd recorder on e-bay, which should hold the expense down somewhat, and it will take the place of my current cd player, which I will try to sell on e-bay.... plus, I have a lot of old cassette recordings of the group that I played with for MANY years and a lot of 'vinyl' that I want to preserve on cd....
thnx agn to all of you ....
