I just bought a Creative Nomad Jukebox 3. It's got optical/analog/digital in recording. Plus, it's 100% digital, so transferring it to your computer is just plugging in a firewire/usb cable. I don't think any other MP3 player records outside of the Nomad Jukebox 3. Mine has 20 gigs of space

Don't forget they don't have a microphone input as such. You will need a digital interface of some kind, or a mixer to provide a line level input. Otherwise they are a great unit. (I have one myself!) Cheers, Graeme Evans (Principal Horn, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) +61 3 9318 0690(H), +61 419

I bought one of the original minidisc recorders when they were first out. It makes startlingly good recordings. It's so good that I use it for comparing the sound of various horns in my collection. If I velcro the mic to the back of my wrist and wear a jacket, I can record most any concert

Interesting. The only thing I don't like about MD is that you can't just click and drag the files from the MD to your computer like you can with an MP3 recorder. -William In a message dated 8/27/2004 10:36:37 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I bought one of the original

I'm a big fan of the minidisc recorder for digital recording of horn practice and performance among other things. Excellent sound and either 80 or 160 minutes of very high or nearly very high quality digital sound - at maybe $1.50 per reusable disc in 10-packs. All Sony's models with numbers

Guys, can I suggest that you check out fullcompass.com and find the mic stands pages. Much more reliable than any juryrigged type of equipment, and you can get the proper mic holders as well. Just a thought for you folks that do this regularly. Paxmaha John Kowalchuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

You are probably referring to a microphone specifically supplied for use with a MD recorder. Most microphones, particularly the better quality ones, will still need a pre-amp of some kind. Cheers, Graeme Evans (Principal Horn, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) +61 3 9318 0690(H), +61 419 880371(B),
