I've owned that four-track for a while. I'm no pro with it, but hopefully I can help you out. Any specifics?

Thank you for the reply man....I can record the music just fine and everything, I just dont know how to send the music to my PC. I bought the midi to usb cable...and for some reasone I cant get them to connect....I have used the cardmanager software thats available on the zoom website and it still wont work...any insight that you can give would be very much appreciated!

Here's how I do it..... I went out and bought a card reader (~$20) at your local computer store. It allows you to take your memory card out of the MRS-4 and hook it up to your usb drive. When you have your card in the card reader you can open up those files in the card manager software that you downloaded. From there you can do whatever. Getting a card reader is pretty much the only way to go though... its cheap and easy. I know, it sucks to go have to buy something else, but its how it works.

This website has a bunch of great information and was really helpful to me as I started figuring it all out.

Good luck, let me know how it all turns out for you.

Yeah, that took me a whiel to figure out. I found a ufree utliliy online caled SCMPX, it does conversion to 44.1. Then I just usually take the file that I converted to 44.1 and convert it to an mp3 using musicmatch or some other random mp3 making utility. Then I'm good to go! That user group that I posted a while ago also has a lot of good info on how people convert to cd quality if you get stumped!
