Being able to upload to your computer digitally is important. I bought a Sony
MD recorder that only has analog output, and I am sorry. Otherwise it's great
for recording, and it's compact. However, getting the files onto a computer is
a hassle--setting the level and waiting for the selection to play. I also had
to buy an analog input--my Dell laptop only had monaural input. If your mikes
need to be powered, make sure the unit does that. The Sony MD does supply
power, but I had to attenuate it.
By the way, iMic is the way to go if you need a stereo input to your computer.
It uses the USB port.
