Re: [microsound] [ot] minidisc recorders

[Eric b <eric_bollman1@xxxxxxxxx>]

On a somewhat related note anyone have any experience
running Linux on their ipod for th purpose of field
recordings? Apparently i can record uncompressed audio
at 96khz now. I've sucessfully installed podzilla on
my ipod just can't find a way to set my mic levels in
the OS. Which leads me to believe that i might have to
find an external pre amp.
