[quote name='Liquid 2']Why don't you just save up for an mp3 player, Brak?[/QUOTE]
It's for video editing.
The cameras I have access to don't have an audio line-in, so I have nowhere to plug a mic.
I could just plug my mic into the minidisc recorder, record the audio, later, in Adobe Audition and then easily sync the audio up with the video in Adobe Premiere.
