Probably both. the recorder from the guy from the radio station had a two gigabyte memory card. If uncompressed audio on the machine is encoded at about 700 bits, as it is with .wav files, then the two gigabyte cards on this machine will hold about 5.5 hours, which is what he described as their recording capacity. As a professional recordist, he was only interested in creating .wav files. I suspect when these devices leave the pro domain and become mass market items some may offer mp3 recording. however, editing .wav files is far preferable than an mp3.

Will these flash recorders record MP3's or wav files?

Andy,
I bought my MZ-b100 last year and I have never regretted it. the next generation of technology will be recording on solid state memory cards. the audio files created on these cards can be transferred directly to a computer and played, like other digital audio files. no more real time transfers. I was at an event recording and next to me was a guy from one of the local radio stations also recording. he said that his machine recorded on to gigabyte flash memory cards and provided about five hours of recording on each card. I learned later that the price for such a recorder is about three or so times the price of the MZ-b100.
eventually, the price will come down on the solid state flash recorders, obviating the need for the minidisk recorders. However, minidisc is still the most cost effective solution I have found at this time. Unfortunately, we are at the edge of a transition but the market hasn't fully turned yet.

Hi Angie.
Just purchased the Sony MZ B100 last night. This device does not have a usb connection like I wanted but it does have internal speakers and larger than average buttons. I suppose I can live without the usb connection for the moment - hope I don't live to regret this!
Best wishes. Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.

Hello Andy,
I have used the Sony ICD P28, which is a digital recorder. It was about $100 over here. I am totally blind and can use it without problems. It has a USB port.
You can also change certain settings, like the record quality, from within the software that comes with the unit.
This particular model does not record things in stereo, but it sounds like it could work for what you need. I have heard that other Sony ICD recorders are
accessible.
Good luck,
Angie
