I think the two things I regret not having access to with my PTR1 are, 1, being able to convert my CD music tracks to MP3 and burning them to inexpensive CDR-D blanks, and 2, being able to take digital audio CD books downloaded from the Internet and burning them to CDR-D blanks for playback using the PTR1 so I can take advantage of the variable speed controls. I know these two processes are possible with the PC, but I don't find the PC CD burning utilities that user friendly, and I haven't found a PC multimedia program that offers variable speed control. The price difference between blank CDR-D and CDR-A is also ridiculous. Cheers, Lawrence

The last time I needed to produce a straight mp3 recording I was compiling submissions for our local folk festival onto a single CD. There were 96 entries. Therefore I had to rename 96 files that were all the same name before they would copy. And because I didn't want to foul up my original daisy recording I have to fffirst copy them each somewhere else then rename them then burn them on to the destination CD. A rather painful process. I think we probably just need to face the fact that our favorite accessable recorder was not designed to be put to either lesure or professional music applications. It was really designed to produce books -- a job that it performs perfectly. . Someday if we are lucky someone will recognize the great need for an accessible CD recorder that is aimed at the musician and music professional. I hope that this piece of equipment is not just a pipe dream of mine.

You can use the PTR1 to make MP3's. You just can't use it to burn the MP3 disk without including Daisy files. Some MP3 players can play them, because they ignore any files on the disk that are not either MP3 or WAV. Your best bet is to record the tracks in the MP3 format you want, making sure to make each song a separate track. Copy the MP3 files from either a CD you put them on in Daisy, or copy them from a flash or PC card. Then use your computer to burn the MP3 tracks to a data disk.
