Wonder if I might ask Michael, do you intend doing a podcast about the Sony ICD-SX67? It sounds an interesting recorder.
I think a good comparative review would be useful now, especially if and when someone gets their hands on the new Marantz portable recorder. Interesting that no one has made any mention of the Fostex FR2 LE. This is the recorder I hope to get my hands on. though I've a little sightI still want to try and get some hands on before committing myself. Just wonder if anyone here has used, or tried to use one? Cheers, >From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Michael Lang Dane, All in all, I also prefer the Olympus DS-50, when one compares it with the Sony ICD-SX67. However, the 67 offers real line-in recording, so that one can record radio talkshows with it easily. When one connects it to a PC, it becomes a regular drive and one can use any file manager to copy MP3 files onto it, which the Sony will play. Most of the menu items are adjustable with the supplied Sony Voice Editor, which is screenreader friendly. Yes, the recording format is proprietary, but one can easily convert recordings to MP3 with Voice Editor and when one divides a recording on the ICD-SX67, there's no gap between the parts. If one does that on the Edirol R-09 for instance, one can clearly hear a gap. <*** Michael Lang ***> You wrote: > I don't think anyone did, I heard that it could record so I was > wondering what sort of recording capacity the reader had. > Incidentally talking about recorders, I notice that the Olympus range > of Recorders (Voice Recorders to be more accurate) got a very good > review in our local newspaper last Thursday as compared to the new > Sony offering.
