Bad accessibility on the iRiver website. I gave up with it aftera very short
attempt.
I was trying to see if the ihp140 will record from the built in radion. I saw
that the ihp100 did not do this and did not notice any claims that the ihp150
had addressed this rather obvious lack. Anybody know?
The Main Menu review mentioned earlier said that the inteinternal mike picked
up motor noise but I guess an external mike will overcome that. Motor noise
was always a problem on any dictaphone I ever tried. Other than these worries,
it is starting to look like a possible buy for me. Now I just have to talk the
wife around and perhaps sell one of the children.

Hi Ray,
I also think the Iriver IHP140 Hard Disk player will do what Andy wants. It
is also accessible to some degree. Please see the review that Michael Lang
did on Main Menu, http://www.acbradio.org/mainmenu.html, of the IHP100. Do
a JAWS or Window-Eyes search on that page for Iriver and you will find it.
The latest model is the same, but it has a 40 GB hard disk. Michael does
show us how to record with it too. Michael always does excellent reviews,
and this is no exception. Go take a look, if you are really interested.
Incidentally, for those interested, if you want real quality recording, you
ain't gonna get it for 200 quid. The MZB100, while accessible, falls short,
because it only has automatic recording levels, and so does the Iriver.
Sunil's player that he talked about for 600 quid, is certainly very
reasonable, for a high quality recording machine.
Just my two pence worth, but I rejected the MZB100, because I didn't like
its auto recording level. I have just ordered the Iriver, but not for
recording, but I will try the auto level, and see if it is any better.
All the best

Andy.
Looks as if you are going for the MZ B100 which is the closest
you will get to having an 'afordable' MD recorder that's much
more usable than the run-of-the-mill portables. I am not sure on
this, but I am almost certain that Sony, even to this day, do not
allow for high speed transfer FROM MD to your computer via USB.
You can do it the other way around. I do not know what Sonic
Stage, or whatever will allow precisely, but I think its a case
of matterial being counted on and off external machines when
using with a PC.
You and others maybe interested inthe the following about the
Edirol R1. This is a realtime MP3 player/recorder, which can
also record raw wav files too. Its pretty exspensive at around
£280.00. What we really need is something along the lines of the
memory card/CD recorder who's name I cannot think of just now.
If only we could have such a talking device, minus the CD writer,
I feel this really would be a good replacement for the trusty old
APH recorder. Anyway here's details of the R1.
