My DS50 was lost or stolen on our European trip so now I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Guess I'll listen to that Main Menu and hear what they have to say. My lady, Pam has the R9 and nice though it is she can't change the settings without help and I really don't like that aspect of the unit.
What is the Plextalk going for pricewise? And would I need an external mic to record in stereo? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lauren Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 5:48 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71 Hi, Can someone please talk about the cost f these items? I am looking for a digital recorder that you can take anywhere, that has a good sound quality, but that is also affordable. I am on a budget.
