I have a Sansa Fuze MP3 player bought solely because I heard it worked well with Linux. (Not entirely true, and classical music meta data doesn't map well into artist/album/song display format, let alone the long names that start with "Symphony". Python to the rescue, needs more work, I forget what I wrote.)
I used its voice recorder to record most of a weekend climate change conference and the audio was a lot better than I expected. It records to .wav (mp3 on the fly is tough), it only records to internal memory (it has a micro SD card that good to setup mp3 files on with Linux), but the low end model with 2 GB holds a lot. I was quite impressed with the low noise level and good quality sound. They only advertise voice quality, so I figured it would be phone call quality, but it's quite a bit better. Recordings are named by date stamp. It also has a decent FM tuner and record by clock, so I can record Car Talk. I haven't tried its video or photo features, they may require Windows access. -Ric Werme _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
