Actually with the latest MP3 recorders you record at 320kb/sec, I think mine 
records at 16-bit. 32-bit recording is overkill and would probably cost a few 
thousand bucks for the right equipment.

And plus, if you just click and drag the files from the player to the 
computer you can get a full hour of recording through a good firewire connection over 
a few minutes. It takes longer with USB I think.

With 20 gigs on my MP3 recorder, it's generally about 10 megabytes per 
minute. At 2000 megabytes, that leaves about 200 minutes for recording at full 
quality. 

Plus, what I do is I usually will transfer the raw .wav recording to a DVD-R 
if I have to. That way it's on a digital medium which will last a very very 
long time. DVD-R burners are quite cheap now, and burning a full 5 gig DVD only 
takes about 15 minutes.

For most it's analogue from the MDR into your sound card. I do this all the 
time and it's a bit of a pain, but far better in terms of quality/$ ratio than 
anything else I've found.
