The Archos > apparently does. I was casually looking at these awhile back. I found it appealing that the Archos recorded directly to mp3, and that you could pull those directly out onto your computer. I guess recording with no compression to wav would be even nicer, but I was comparing this to a minidisc recorder, so I wasn't thinking in those terms. I also considered it a negative that it doesn't include a mic preamp (although the quality of mic preamps in portable devices is definitly questionable anyway). Nice amount of storage space and easy computer hookup. I could see this being a useful device. I read several online reviews of the Nomad which complained about how horrible it's PC link software was. I think one thing I read said it was noisy. That'd be par for the course with Creative's soundcards and stuff. Greg __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
