minstrel: Computer recording?

[david ball]

It appears I have all 5 volumes of the Child ballads on the way, thanks to 
my local librarian and her computer contacts. My next step is to replace 
this old and increasingly cranky computer I have. I have made my living for 
many years doing computer stuff, but of a fairly obscure nature. I just have 
not been paying attention to audio issues. The end product I want would be a 
combination of probably HTML files with good audio as well. I would also 
like to be able to produce some high quality CD's to be played just on 
standard audio CD players (or should I skip that and go to DVD? Told you I 
have not been paying attention.....). The ability to also edit video would 
be useful for another project I am thinking about. I figure there are 
probably a number of folks on this list who are already doing this kind of 
thing. Any recommendations as to hardware and software would be greatly 
appreciated.
