Sorry for the OT but after many hours of searching with google and others, I couldn't find _any_ relevant info. All the results were stupid sites like CNET with overbloated design and ~1:10 signal to noise ratio... It's certainly harder to find good information on the internet now that it's full of marketing!
Back to off-topic: I am looking for advice on a portable voice recorder, which uses preferably CF cards (I would think about models with 2.5" HDD but I do prefer CF), has MP3/other (anybody supports OGG/VORBIS yet?) format recording, has MICROPHONE/LINE-IN jack (sic! I need no stupid integrated mics), and a LINE-OUT jack would be nice (but not 100% needed). What it's for? Listening to music, and much importantly, making 1) voice notes on my photographs during an assignment 2) recording interviews. That's why I would prefer a model with possibility of external microphone. At one of my sometime clients (local BBC branch), I saw some very nice MP3 solid-state recording equipment, but I really do not need a deivice the size of a VHS casette, albeit it does have CANNON jacks and excellent audio electronics inside (not mentioning it costs around 1000-2000$)... So far I found Diva MP3, but it does have only built-in microphone. Thanks for any help! Good light, Frantisek Vlcek
