You sure could do this, but what kind of media would you record onto? At
around 760 MB for a 76 minute CD, you're probably not going to be making
a lot of digital copies on your hard drives, anyway. You'd have to just
record back onto a DAT, or maybe onto an Exabyte drive. Of course, it still
may be a good idea to send the digital straight into the Falcon, and have
the Falcon remove the copy-protection bits, then feed into your DAT...
