#268431 - 31/10/2005 17:16 MP3 Player with good microphone input???
ShadowMan addict Registered: 09/06/1999 Posts: 559 Loc: Newfoundland, Canada	Does anyone know of a mp3 player that can record from a mic input directly to mp3 such that the mp3 can then be downloaded onto a pc for archival purposes. I need something that can record for as long as 8-10 hours (preferably) at times without a break. Any leads??? Thanks! edit : anyone have anyexperience with the Creative Labs Zen Micro ?

Mains power is not an issue as it will be used to record meetings in one of our boardrooms. Thanks for that one... anybody else??

Before putting down any money on one of those I would strongly suggest borrowing mine for the 10 minutes it will take to change your mind. Rob

Thanks for that one... anybody else?? 1. Buy a decent PZM mic 2. Buy a Tascam "portable" recorder Not cheap, but the industry standard for board rooms (that or Marantz). Or if you want to do it on the cheap, there's always this. Rob

One of the most frequently heard epithets in this office is "This effing heap of camel poo!!" or similar. It has real problems. Not sure this is a good choice. _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

ShadowMan addict Registered: 09/06/1999 Posts: 559 Loc: Newfoundland, Canada	As I sit at my desk putting the CompactFlash card back in this unit after clearing it off umpteen thousand times (well, maybe umpteen hundred times), I had a memory of an effing piece of camel poo. Imagine, after 13 years, we are still using it without any issue! _________________________ 12 gig empeg Mark II, SN: 080000101 30 gig RioCar SN: 30103114 My blog
