Digital Cassette Recorders
Hi, I am a newbie around here, so please forgive what may be very
dumb questions. Does anybody manufacture digital (audio) cassette recorders for home use? If so, do any of these units have dual decks? (I need a dual deck so I can record portions of one tape onto another.) If such units do exists, what are their approximate costs? Since I have cerebral palsy, which prevents me from shopping in stores and obtaining this information that way, any information which you may provide me with in this Newsgroup will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Bill Geluso |

Digital Cassette Recorders
Hi, I am a newbie around here, so please forgive what may be very
dumb questions. No such thing as a dumb question. But there are a lot of inquisitive idiots... : ) Does anybody manufacture digital (audio) cassette recorders for home use? If so, do any of these units have dual decks? (I need a dual deck so I can record portions of one tape onto another.) If such units do exists, what are their approximate costs? You need a dual-deck digital audio cassette recorder? Maybe I'm a little confused, but this would seem to imply that you already have some sort of digital cassettes you need to copy (?). Companies such as Philips, Technics, Marantz, and Radio Shack dabbled briefly in a format known as DCC (Digital Compact Cassette) in the early '90s, before the availabity of CD burners. It was a format that failed rather quickly (but sounded quite good), never having gained widespread acceptance by the public. I personally own 3 of these decks, and if I recall correctly, no dual-well decks were ever manufactured. The closest thing to a "digital audio cassette recorder" manufactured these days would be a DAT (Digital Audio Tape)deck. Sony, among others, still manufactures these. Mostly used by professional recordists. Wouldn't an MD (MiniDisc) recorder suffice? Relatively cheap, and fairly good sounding. I guess we need more specifics as to your needs... Jeff |

First, thanks for responding to my post. Okay, here is what I specifically want to do: I want to make a "bulk recording" of something (say a radio show), then I want to edit this recording to contain only the information I desire. The reason I'm looking into Digital Audio Cassettes instead of CD's is because you must be careful how you handle CD's so you don't scratch or dirty them. (Handling anything with care is difficult for me because of my cerebral palsy -- just ask my poor dog.)
