Thanks a lot. I own the iriver h140 and I use it with rockbox. I only use the normal firmware to record directly to mp3 because recording in wav eats the battery fast. I whish rockbobx could record in mp3 too. Can't they record in vorbas since it is a free format? Any way, I am thinking of ptr2 myself.

I've recorded with the 140, but I've not used Rockbox for that. I believe, that one can control the record level with Rockbox while recording? This isn't possible with the normal firmware. I think that the recording quality of the two is quite similar. Both machines can record in uncompressed Wave and MP3. As much as I know, one cannot use MP3 on the iRiver when Rockbox is used, because MP3 requires a license, and this license costs money. The main difference in my opinion is accessibility. With the PTR2, I can ask the recorder to tell me, how much time's left on the card or CD. The machine tells me, when the battery is flat. I have a talking level control. I can easily distinguish between record and record pause mode and so on. Like the iRiver the Plextalk has a stereo Plug-in power capable microphone input and a line-in. However it doesn'T have optical in and out like the iRiver. The built-in mic of the Plextalk is mainly for note taking, I'd not use it to record music. But I wouldn't use the built-in mic of the iRiver for that either, because of the hard disk noise. <*** Michael Lang ***> _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
