I am delighted with the Edorl R-1. With two microphones built right in,
mastering affects and recording right onto compact flash, it's a wonderful
recorder. The menus odn't wrap, so although it doesn't talk, it's easy to
use. It records all the way up to 48 khz 24 bit, and handles MP3 recording
too. Yay for the R1.

Thanks a lot. 
I own the iriver h140 and I use it with rockbox. I only use the normal
firmware to record directly to mp3 because recording in wav eats the battery
fast. 
I whish rockbobx could record in mp3 too. Can't they record in vorbas since
it is a free format? 
Any way, I am thinking of ptr2 myself. 

Regards.
Nektarios.

I own the PTR2. I've recorded with the 140, but I've not used Rockbox for
that. I believe, that one can control the record level with Rockbox while
recording? This isn't possible with the normal firmware.

I think that the recording quality of the two is quite similar. Both
machines can record in uncompressed Wave and MP3. As much as I know, one
cannot use MP3 on the iRiver when Rockbox is used, because MP3 requires a
license, and this license costs money.

The main difference in my opinion is accessibility. With the PTR2, I can ask
the recorder to tell me, how much time's left on the card or CD. The machine
tells me, when the battery is flat. I have a talking level control. I can
easily distinguish between record and record pause mode and so on.

Like the iRiver the Plextalk has a stereo Plug-in power capable microphone
input and a line-in. However it doesn'T have optical in and out like the
iRiver. The built-in mic of the Plextalk is mainly for note taking, I'd not
use it to record music. But I wouldn't use the built-in mic of the iRiver
for that either, because of the hard disk noise.
