I have the very old 2488 original. I am thinking of getting the DP24 and I see that it uses SD cards. My question...does it store your songs in multitrack format? So If I record let's say 10 tracks, and I save it to SD card, it stores as 10 tracks separately and if I take it out and put it back in later it is still 10 tracks?

The answers to this are in the Sticky Threads in this category (which, if you're considering a DP, you should read). Lotsa great vids on y'tube too.
The short version of the answer is yes.

Welcome to the community, @JeffBlazing.
The 14 or so individual videos created by moderator Phil Tipping in the sticky thread "Tutorial and Informational Videos For DP-32/24/32SD/24SD" is an excellent and easy to follow walk through of all the features and functions of the DP-24/32/SD portastudio.
I highly recommend watching them.

Thank you guys. I will get right on that. I've been toying with the idea of computer recording, but that would require a lot more investment of both money AND time. So I think the DP24 is the way to go for me, and I'll do some serious watching and learning now that I know the answer to my most basic question.

Kewl!
"Computer recording" is a real departure - it's like of a different flavor of ice cream - still great, but definitely different. And if you're seasoned on the 2488, the transition to the DP is gonna be waaaaay easier for you (I speak from experience: I was on all 3 incarnations of the 2488, for about 15+ years, before going to the O/G DP-32 about 3 yrs ago. A few work-flow adjustments aside, it was a no-brainer).
As opposed to my forays into "computer recording"/DAW solutions...which (as mentioned) are remarkably capable, flexible, etc...but caused me a lot of heartache, to the point that I had days where I had to decide whether to try to finish a project, or go sleep on the railroad tracks. JMHO!
As mentioned - the Sticky Threads are just a truckload of vital info; the vids are also excellent ('cuz of the visual reinforcement); even the O/M will answer a loooot of ?'s.
And if all that doesn't get you there - you can always ask here for answers you can't find.
Good luck!
