I successfully recorded Dinosaur JR with the MT II last night (12/13/07) with no problems. A couple of notes:
1. I charged the battery overnight and took the thing straight to the show. I do not have an external battery for it yet. I noticed that the battery indicator went down 1 "tick" in just the few minutes I was scrolling around the menu and formatting a 4 GB CF card. I thought it should still be showing a full charge after 10mins of use, but I guess I expect rechargeable batteries to be better after a few charges. It went another 1 1/2 hours and the battery meter was at half.
2. I didn't fully trust the device, so I just fed it the s/pdif from my D8. There was a V3 in front of the D8. It recorded the 16/44.1 *.wav with no probs.
3. I plugged it into my PC this morning, WinXP recogized it, and I transferred the *.wav over with no problems.
4. I used a SanDisk Ultra II 4GB CF card purchased from Costco.
Next time, I'll remove the D8 from the equation.
