Hi there,
I need some help.
I want to switch to HDD recorder now, but don't know which one is the most
comfortable for taping.
Some of my friends suggested iRiver H-320 / iHP-140 or Creative Nomad
Jukebox 3 (model of 2002 as I learned, not so easy to find now)
Maybe somebody on this list has had a taping experience with the HDD
recorders? Is it worth it?
Any help will be aprecciated, please e-mail me privately if you can give
useful advice.
Thanks.

Hey Tom,
I'm new to taping, so I can't say much from personal experience, but I have
researched the question, and found this:
http://www.ttapes.com/techtips/datdds.html
To quote the article:
"Basically, DAT (Digital Audio Tape) tapes are "standard" for digital
recording media. DAT does not have to meet minimum drop-out rates, nor does
it have to be manufactured in a clean room. DAT does not have to meet many
of the stringent standards that DDS does. On the other hand, DDS (Digital
Data Storage) is manufactured in a clean room (dust and particle free) and
must meet very stringent ANSI standards for Bit Error Rate (BER) and
critical computer data storage."
The author favours DDT tape over DAT tape. No mention of whether DDS tapes
are "rougher" on the heads, but I don't see how they could be. I use DDS
tapes in my DAT recorder. Cheaper, better. Why not.
cheers!

Looking for recordings of Masters of Reality and/or Chris Goss related live stuff. Have many nice shows to trade so if you are sitting on one, let me know. They also performed under the name Pink Wolves on some occasions so maybe someone taped them???
Thanks!

i'm in the midst of raging PORCUPINE TREE fever after seeing/taping 2 shows
in 2 weeks and am looking to hookup with any other obsessed ptree fans
who've taped any recent (or upcoming) shows who want to do some trading
they will be on tour in the USA for their new DEADWING album for the next 3
weeks or so; tourdates are here
http://www.porcupinetree.com/tour.cfm
for those that are not familiar with them but possibly curious, hard
to explain what they sound like other than throw together great songwriting,
playing, singing, add a touch of very unique proggy keyboard textures in
spots, heavy gtr, awesome rhythym section, and hit the rush/pink floyd/king
crimson/yes/iron maiden/metallica settings on your blender and that is kind
of close to what they're like
some insightful reviews of their albums are here:

http://www.rockeyez.com/reviews/cd/porcupine_tree/rev-deadwing.html
http://www.kludgemagazine.com/reviews/Porcupine_Tree/Deadwing
p.s. the band is "trader" friendly but not "taper" friendly - if you want to
tape you need to stealth and be sure to not stand too close to the stage, if
yer spotted you will be dimed out to security!
