To those that replied with WMV/MP3 formats: Please READ the post
CAREFULLY before you jump the gun.
NATIVE Linux format is for example .ogg, because Fedora/RHEL and few
other distributions only use *OSS* codecs. MP3 and WMV are proprietary
codecs, so they are not natively supported on LInux.
Many players can play FLAC Vorbis/OGG, but I can not see any that can
record in FLAC or Vorbis.
Please visit
http://wiki.xiph.org/PortablePlayers and
to see what can fit your needs.
Also, try googling with:
"vorbis" +portable +voice +recorder -software and try to find detailed
info or write to manufacturers.
You could also google for Vorbis encoding chips/processor and see who
makes them and who buys them. I think that is the most important feature
for portable encoder/recorder. MP3 encoder chips already exist for a
long time.
