low cost Firewire, I for one believe it exists and jsut a matter of time before announced.

Will be great.

Hi, just saw this article , it states that the audio out port of the Mac mini also doubles as a line in!!
Specs on the Apple page state only line out - so who's right?

Thanks,

Frank

It's just a line out, headphone out jack. You'll have to do audio in with USB or FW.

When it comes down to it the mini is really just an iBook in a box, it has plenty of power for any music related tasks. I have done everything from recording, editing, mixing, and performances and not had a clich. Speaking of NAMM there were iPods, iBooks and Mini's all over the show. One group playing on the floor had replaced their drummer with 2 iPods. And at one of the nightly shows Steve Stevens was playing, and had all of his effects on a Mac Mini and ran them all via a touch screen....

I myself plan to get a mac mini to replace my iMac internet machine. I like the size and price. as for my music I will still have to go for a G5 when my funds become avilable. I just worry with the one ram slot on the mac mini. as time goes so does the ram specs for every program and I would hate to be stuck with one slot. The mac mini is a good machine and I plan on getting one and I may even do some audio editing on it.
