Hi just jumpin on the band wagon here, im interested in gettin one of these, id need it mostly for field recordings. Im assuming it has a firewire or usb interface. Here is my current setup, i use an iRiver H340 with a pair of OKM stereo mics www.soundman.de the studio versions. iRiver lets you record stereo mic in and with the line preamp, it will detect this and record as line input for louder db environments like recording gig PA's, fully tested :D
Anyway the maximum u can record is a 320 k mp3. Its high quality and a nice filesize, however im wanting to get into the 24/96 wav recording domain for a portable device and the current operating system cant. However there is a new embedded OS for portable devices called roxbox, http://www.rockbox.org/ , it lets you record to wav but 16 / 44 recording , so cd quality, i think soon it will also have the feature of converting the recording to flac on the fly or something ? The bad thing is it doesnt support mp3 recording, so u have to reboot back to the original OS to get mp3 records :D So for something a little cheaper this is pretty nice , and the iRiver loads like a usb drive so u can just drag and drop the files onto your computer.

Has anyone had any experience with m-audios microtrack recorder? I'm looking for a recorder that's small (pocketsize would be perfect) and not to expensive and thought this might be ok. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
after doing a lot of research and polling about compact flash recorders vs minidisc and hi-md recorders i opted to go with a sony hi-md unit. the lower price was certainly a plus, but some of the information i saw regarding quirks in the cf recorders (specifically the microtrack) made me shy away from them for the time being. i think that if you search the phonography archive you will find a thread of these discussions. some of these issues may have been ironed out with firmware updates by now and could be moot, but at the time they pushed me into the md camp. granted, i had a sony minidisc unit already, along with a mic pre for it which also works with my hi-md unit, so that was also a factor. i think ultimately what decided me was the price, most other factors balanced themselves out. i bought this hi-md to use on my west coast tour and it worked great, digital transfers to my mac laptop went smoothly and the recordings came out beautifully, so i'm happy with my decision. cheers bruce
