I have a simiular requirement in that the quality of the recording must be good 
to start with.  Is there anything o the market that records to flash card 
memory?  My Bookcourier does this and records to WAV but the internal 
microphone and the fact that the software is unreliable in that area makes in 
unusable.

I treid using a minidisc recorder and while the quality was good, the discs 
were very fiddly and it was so small that eventually somebody lost it.

Hi Ray.

It's surprising how much the costs vary around the country eh? 
Nevertheless,  it's still quite expensive at £239 and the only means of 
transferring data to my computer, from this device, is via line-in.

It's a pity it did not have a usb connection, so that I could simply copy 
files from the device to my computer.

I believe that some mp3 devices can do this, but I'm still wanting good 
quality sound recordings, for interviews, and a method of editing these from 
the device, wherein I can hear the sound via internal speakers.

The MZ B100 'so has quite large buttons which would make pausing, rewinding 
and playing the device easier for tactile dependant users and is probably 
the device that I'll end up purchasing.  I just wish that I could hear more 
from workers who use a different method of recording, saving and editing 
audio files.

Best wishes.
Andy
