Hi I heard from the bbc, that olympus was in financhial trouble.
The president of olympus resigned, so I don't know how healthy the company
is.
I hope some one picks up the company.

I don't want to dampen your message but small and pocket-sized for a
recorder at a good price isn't a rarity <smile>, my Minidisc I've had for 16
years ago even fits that criteria.

and have both hands free, if said mic is one that clips to your clothes or
is a set of the in-ear binoral mics. Now those I love! The whole 3d sound
thing.

I'm not knocking the Olympus recorders as I'm sure they're great pieces
of equipment but some people seem to have a "thing" about talking devices
for some reason and they seem to automatically figure that just because
they talk then they're better than devices which don't <smile>.
If you want to hear Olympus recorders in action then go to
<http://www.blindcooltech.com> and "listen away", plenty of podcasts
there on Olympus recorders.
Points taken, that's why I bought my Zoom H1, no its not multi track but
I didn't need one of those. No it doesn't talk but if I can use a
cassette recorder then I can use a Zoom H1, think I paid $100.00 for it
over a year ago, an absolute bargain.

I bet those Olympus recorders cost an arm and a leg and a few fingers.
LOL.
All jokes aside, they do cost quite a bit of money and it is hard for
someone who is on a limited income to purchase one.
I would love to hear one of the Olympus recorders in action as well.

What's that got to do with everything? Weren't we talking about using
an iPod touch as a recording device?
I'll wait till I see this new Olympus recorder before making any
comment, don't want to jump the gun as so often happens these days on
email lists <smile>.

Aha, but you see, I mean the ZooomH1 is cool for what it is, but the
LS-100
will have phantom power and all that studio stuff apparently, and
it'll
talk. So yeah, it'll be very cool.

Hi!
My favourite subject <smile>, I've been down that road before.
I use Fire Field recorder though it hasn't been updated for quite some
time.
Now here's where things become a little tricky. If you're using Fire
Field
Recorder for quality recordings you'll want some external microphones
and
inputs, that's fine! as those devices exist but when all boiled down,
its
going to cost you a little money, not expensive mind but a little
money.
If I had my time over again, I would not have bothered buying the
extra
attachments for my IOS device, they're nice sure! but for nearly the
same
amount of money I could have bought a portable recorder which does far
more
than the IOS device I had was capable of doing, I'm talking of course
of the
Zoom H1 portable recorder.
No, it doesn't have talking this or talking that, no it doesn't have
bells
and whistles to write home to Mum about but it is! a very high quality
and
easy to use recorder which handles MP3 and Wave format, encoding
quality for
MP3 can be set along with sampling and bit rate for Wave.

The Olympus portable recorders have been discussed a lot lately, and
I
could buy one of those. But I already have an iPod Touch, and was
wondering
about just using that as a portable recorder. The built-in mic isn't
very
good, but sufficient for most voice recordings. Is there a
high-quality
external mic available? and, is there a recording app that's
accessible, and
more full-featured than the very simplistic voice memos app that comes
with
it?
