Re: [all-audio] Accessible Field Recorder

[Hamit Campos]

Ah and Iassume the price is similar? Could you share a link to them? I tried 
googling them. So as they only record up to 48 24 I guess that's all they'll 
play. What on the subject of the Olympus P4 and now there's a new P5 can those 
things record and or play?

Well its a small thing almost like the olympus lsp4 looks like a candybar type 
device. Its mainly a recorder with music folder and fm radio. Its almost on the 
level of olympus. Even the mikes feel simular. 
They can record 24 bit 48 in wave and up to 320 mp3.
