I have had my vs-880ex for a little over a year now, and have recorded a decent amount of music on it. First thing I noticed was the quality of the audio, it was pretty fuzzy and distorted. I obviously knew it wasn't the recorder becuase my means of getting the audio to the computer and the mic I used ( a crappy radio shack mic lol.. ). I have recently ordered for a new better recording mic ( Sennheiser E609 Silver Dynamic Guitar Mic ) this is link: Mic
I also would send my audio through my line in port on my sound card ( which is a pretty crappy standard sound card).

But to the point, I decided "hey how bout a zip disk so i wouldn't lose quality" so i borrowed my friends zip disk drive. I went to hook it up and as soon as the connector touched the port on the recorder it just shorted out. I pulled away from the recorder and it restarted ( the same as if you turned it on ). I tired this several times with the same result. The zip disk drive was not the rolan one, I can't recall the brand of ZDD I used. If it ends up to where I will not be able to use the zip disk, is there any other way I can get the music to my computer with out loseing quality and not haveing to spend a massive amount of money?

Thanks

p.s. i use cakewalk (sonor) to put together my tracks.
 
I think the manual advises against making those connections while the EX is on. Connect the Zip, turn the drive on, then power up. See what happens.

If you just want to put tracks in Sonar, you will do better running two tracks at a time through the digital outs, and record them into a soundcard with spdif ins. Maudio makes acouple cheap, like less than $100. I don't believe a Zip disc will have any data on it that your computer can use, unfortunately.
