Any further ideas? ive heard some quite good field recordings made with consumer Archos and iAudio audioplayers, which can record in PCM or the very least 320kbps mp3..which is a suitable tradeoff..they were made with a small clip-on sony microphone, the kind thats just a 1/8" plug and the element on top of that. im sure other companies make them as well.. c.d.r
