Good point, Scott. Looked it up under Toast's help file and this is what I found: To record from Toast to a shared recorder: 1 Set up your disc project as you normally would. 2 At the bottom of the Toast window, click the green Recording Options button. A list appears displaying names of any recorders connected to your system and any shared recorders on the same local network. 3 Choose the name of a shared recorder. 4 To access a shared recorder at any location on the Internet, choose Other Shared Recorder. A dialog appears, where you can enter an IP address. 5 If the person who is sharing their recorder set a password, you must enter the password in the dialog box that appears. 6 Click the red Record button. The person sharing their recorder will be prompted to insert a blank disc. Toast displays a progress bar as it records your disc over the network. So, going by that, it should work with a PC. I'll mess around with it and try a few things. As far as copying them to the mini, have done that before, but for a few reasons, like to do direct copying. Thanks so much for your help and suggestions!
