I am looking into purchasing a new ibook with cdrw for recording on the road. Does anyone have any experience with one in the music recording domain? Is that inexpensive Griffin audio input thingie any good?

I use a new iBook for location recording, but IMO USB just doesn't cut it for professional results. What are these recordings going to be used for? If they're just for your personla reference, the iMic should be OK - if they're going to end up on a CD for sale, or a demo going to a recording lable, go with Firewire. I use a MOTU828 (about $740 discounted) 8 analog channels with 2 pretty decent mic pre-amps, 8 channels of ADAT lightpipe digital I/O & 2 channels S/PDIF. It allows 24bit recording (iMic with the Mac's sound manager is limited to 16 bit). You should also look into a Firewire HD to record to - using the same HD your system is booted on will invite trouble when the OS or background tasks access the drive during recording. Just suggestions from my little bit of experience.
