Check out this product. I am currently reviewing one, and it basically has all the funcitonality of running Coaster on the Mac - including the ability to split the recording on the fly, seamlessly. Plus records to MP2 and MP3. Uses Compact Flash. I highly recommend it for anyone doing remote/live recording. Street price is $700. With this unit and any Mac with FireWire, a Compact Flash reader (I suggest the Lexar FireWire reader - $60) and a burner can go from concert hall to CD in 15-30 minutes depending on the length of the recording. It's the next generation digital recorder in my opinion. They will be shipping a 1U rack mount version in early '04 for the same price. http://www.marantzpro.com/Products/PMD670.html Rick
