i'm well into DJing, and usually, if i record a mix i use my trusty old minidisc recorder. thing is, to then put it on a CD, i've got to
plug the MD player into my PC, hit play on the MD, record on the PC, and wait an hour for it to all copy over. making a simple CD takes hours
i bought a sony MD player years ago as it had usb on it, but its only for copying onto MD, not for reading back off one
a lot of people on here know a lot of things on a lot of different subjects 
does anyone know if any digital audio recorders which i can then open the file by USB?
would make things a lot quicker...
got to be good audio quality though! better than CD, and over an hour recording time.
anyone heard of anything like this before?
Can you not just record the mix directly to the PC?
the PC's not as reliable as i'd like. i've got usb ports on the mixer to record to pc, sometimes what happens though, is the PC will
just hang. thats the last thing i want after putting all the time and effort into a demo mix.
sometimes when recording from MD, it can skip and jump a bit. I think the way forward is a recorder which is dedicated to audio, then copy over by
usb.
Something like this?
ebay
linky
Or if you've got an iPod there are ways (3rd party firmware) of enabling recording.
exactly the kind of thing i'm after ^ maybe a bit more expensive than i though they'd be. might have to wait a while for one of them...
not got an ipod. don't like them 
I river H300 series - old but will do exactly what you want - 20 or 40Gb hard drive...

Use Rockbox on it to get the best functionality...
I've got a H340 which I've really abused it's still going strong + battery life still good.

only about 20mins long, but while i'm out of work, i'm going to push
myself as a DJ try and get loads of lovely gigs. as a demo CD, propmoters very rarely listen to the whole thing, so i'm thinking a few different
styles on 1 CD, 20mins long, listed by genre rather than a full track list, that way they can just listen to the ones they're interested in i must say your not a band hand at this mixing mate
good work!
my headphones aren't too happy tho
