Could you explain a little more how this works? You feed the audio from your
radio (receiver) to the VCR? If you use the timer on the VCR does that mean
that the power to the receiver has to be on all the time?

To stop
From my own experience I can have made many FM-broadcast recordings
on my JVC HiFi VHS recorder. It works great, but it is not very
convenient for playback.
Later I record the tape to my MD-deck and do the editing. Besides
that, VHS tape is not the best type of storage in the long run. Older
Using a VCR with one of the older Sony or Denon PCM adapters works well. I used
this for several years recording a 2-Hour FM program weekly using the timer in the
VCR even while on holiday. In VHS, only SP is really satisfactory, and only T-120
tapes are rugged enough to be reliable.
My advice: If you have a windows pc: Get yourself the line-in plugin for
winamp. Then get youreslf the mp3 output plugin. Run the radio through the
line in of your sound card, and out through the mp3 plugin (use 192 kbps for
nice quality). Tada! Ok, maybe it isn't such a good idea :-).

I think the cheapest way of getting long recordings like that is to run

After you have it recorded you can copy it back to your minidisc and
split it up.

This is certainly what I do, using NICAM audio recording on standard
videotape. Use standard play mode, as results are usually disappointing in
long play. 4 hr tapes are no problem. NICAM records digitally, but performs
data compression by using non-linear law AD and DA conversion, so the
