Need help with settings...

Hey all,
I'm new to this list and am hoping someone can help. I am using a
PTR1 with updated Firmware version 2.01.
My difficulty lies with my attempts to convert a standard anolog
cassette recording into an editted MP3 file. Here are the steps I
have taken to date:
1. Connecting my PTR1 to my home stereo, I recorded the 45-minute
content of the audiocassette onto the 1 Gb flash card via an in-line
patch cord. Initially I used the "anolog cassettes with standard
recording" as the recording setting. The resulting recording was
excellent. However, I was unable to edit the flash card recording to
my satisfaction, primarily because I was unable to position the "cut
phrase" position at the exact point were I wanted portions of the
recording eliminated. Frustated with this, I proceeded to back-up
what I had onto a CDR anyhow, hoping to get a single MP3 file. When
prompted, I selected "Back--up card to disk" and selected the "Music"
option. I was greeted by "Insert a digital audio CD". Figuring I
needed a CDRW, I repeated the process, only to get the same prompt. I
thought a CDR or a CDRW was a digital audio CD? Am I missing
something here? I aborted the back-up and started all over again.
2. This time, I recorded again to the flash card using the "Custom
Setting", selecting the "MP3 - 64 Kb sample/bit rate and "normal"
recording speed. I found I was able to edit specific portions of the
recording with a much more satisfactory result by splitting phrases
on a more precise basis. Satisfied with the editted results, I "saved
the editted information" and proceeded to back-up. Same
results..."Insert a digital audio CD" when I asked to save in "Music"
format. On a whim, I decided to save in "Daisy" format. This seemed
to work in that I found a single .mp3 file on the CD along with some
other files. Where I need your assistance is in telling me why this
resulting .mp3 file does not include any of my edits? What recording
settings do I need to select so that I can record from a standard
audiocassette onto the flash card, perform several edits and then how
do I back-up onto a CDR so that the resulting .mp3 file contains the
editted recording?
Your assistance, knowledge and direction will be greatly appreciated!
With thanks,
Rob
