I use the iRiver IFP-795, and I'm very happy with it. I notice that the iRiver store has the ifp-780 for $59.95 now: https://secure11.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=iriver&BusType=BtoC&Count1=253841578&Count2=170982003 so it's not a big risk. (The iRiver IFP models are the only mp3 players that I'm aware of that will power a condesor microphone. The best recording quality is mp3 320kps) On 2/23/06, Kris Hartung <khartung@cableone.net> wrote: > I've been using the M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 for a few weeks now > (recommended by Tom Richford).
