Topic: M-Audio Flash Tracker details

a 2 gig card is fine for taping an opening band at 24/48.   

Or even a band who only has a 90 min set.

yeah, I miss the added excitment of hoping and praying the band would quit long enough to change out tapes and not miss anything.

aren't 4gb cards showing up more and more for less than $200.  i have a feeling that by the end of the year they'll be getting even cheaper.

i think by the time i destroyed 3-4 electronic devices trying to get them write to an external hdd, i'd just spend the couple hundred dollars and get the 4gb card.

Looks like the cheapest you can find now is $235.  Deals may come around once in a while to make 'em cheaper, though.

2 months ago the best deal I could get was $275 shipped. I'll pick another one up as soon as that $185 deal comes around again.

Check www.pricewatch.com - they keep track of all that stuff.  That's where I found the $235 price.

For deals keep checking www.techbargains.com, www.slickdeals.net, and www.dealram.com - something will usually pop up on one of those.  Lately all the deals have been for 1gb cards, though.

http://dealnews.com is a good one too.

Dealnews is the same family as dealram, but with dealram you can go right to their compact flash page: http://dealram.com/prices/19/4GB.html

Yeah but we need Compact Flash drives.  USB doesn't help us.

Interesting parallel. Isn't that movie also about a high-tech piece of gear that goes AWOL?
