Yes, i agree. Gemini's quality is far from good.
But this digital recorder they launched is quite the only one small,  
afordable and simple enough to carry around. To record live sets, for  
instance.
Gemini has a history here in Brazil. For a long time, gemini mixers  
were the only ones we had here. Some old time djs are still using  
gemini mixers cause they got so used to them they prefer not to get  
around with better equipment. Well, my first mixer was a gemini too.  
The sound was lame, the faders were heavy like parking breaks. But,  
it was tough. And still works. Rough. :-D
The advantage of a long time mixing with crap mixers is that you  
experience some peace of cake time mixing with better ones.
It was so simple for an iPod record line in sound in mp3 format. I  
guess it's just not the market for the product. I could choose the  
gemini recorder. But would have to try first.

There's a small box from Gemini called the i-Key which is pretty
handy- it records to a USB memory stick with variable bit rates-
after the recording is over you stick the memory stick into your
computer and burn the audio file straight to CD- currently sells for
£99 here in the UK

Hi Marcel,

I dont have mine any more due to some over zealous
tidying whilst drunk but an iRiver can record as a
.wav or as a .mp3 and I think you can even select from
a variety of compression settings.

Yep - I've got an iriver - it's got a line in and you can direct encode 
to mp3, ogg, wma, wav - at any bitrate you wish.

I have the Iriver 340 its coming up to 3 years old now, it has a
line/mic in for mp3 recording and I think you can record in a range of
bit rates up to 320kbps or as wav. Seem to be really stable and hasn't
ever crashed on me.

At the time it outperfomed many products on the market as it had radio,
video playback and photo storage and didn't require any additional
software like Itunes etc to connect to your pc.

Have a look at http://www.misticriver.net if you need to know more.

Cheers.

The iAudio mp3 players are also very highly regarded. There is a small 
dongle required for line-in recording, but for most people it's not an issue 
to carry that around. A friend just got the X5 and it looks well nice. He's 
a heavy user and very happy with it. These have definitely got iRivers beat 
cosmetically but in almost every other way they compete as well:

If you want a balanced input via XLR, you can look at products from  
Mrantz and M-Audio.  Both of them have really nice, solid-state flash- 
memory recorders.  However, you're looking at $500+ for that badness.
