I need a laptop to record band rehearsals with my stereo mic and burn rehearsal cds for band members afterwords quickly. I noticed 24x burners on ebay for $150 that fit in Lombard or Pismo Powerbook G3s so it seems like I could buy them all for around $500. Does anyone know if this is my best solution and/or if any other lowend/earlier mac portables (ie. Wallstreet) can support internal cd burners?

Have you heard of the iMic? It's a USB analog audio input device for around $35. I've heard it works really well with ibooks.
I guess my main goal, which I should have stated earlier, is to spend less than $500 on a 2 track audio recording/24x cd-r burning machine. My alternative is an Avery mp3 recorder for $250 - $350 that also records wav files. That is, until the iPods have a recording feature.  But even so I'd still have to take it home and transfer audio to my desktop G3 before burning cds.I might find a Powerbook G3 333 Lombard on ebay for around $350 and put the $150 CD-RW/DVD drive in it. I'm thinking, even if it's got a small hard drive I can eithernet between my desktop g3 with it's 160GB Hard drive space to back up my audio files. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has found another solution for the same or less $$ |
