Well I never got anywhere near writing software for it and the damn things
screwed up.
I'm just getting a Format Error message. I guess its back to Sony unless
anyone knows a way out of it.
I'd got nearly 200 albums on it, makes you wonder if it's worth the trouble

That's what mine did. They've had it for 6 weeks now and it hasn't
come back. Unless they can tell me (and prove) what they have fixed
to prevent it happening again I intend to reject the machine (as I
originally requested at the store) and demand a refund either from
Sony or the credit card company. I don't believe it is 'fit for
purpose'.

Mmmmm, not a good advert, who's got yours, Sony or your dealer?

An iPod hooked up to your stereo would do exactly the same job with less
hassle ;-)

But an iPod has no S/PDIF output.

Is there a hard disk recorder on the market at a reasonable price that
can record with lossless or no compression and has an S/PDIF input and
output?

I am looking for at least four hours of uncompressed/lossless
compression recording. (This just happens to be the length of CD
Review on Radio 3.)

Yes, try the Yamaha HD CDr1300 - 120 hours of uncompressed audio. SPDIF &
TOSLINK in and out, and all the bells & whistles. 2 year waranty.
