MP3 Recorder
« on: January 11, 2004, 01:17:40 pm »
I am looking at replacing my Archos 6GB MP3 recorder. What are the current recommendations for something $300 or less? Needs to stereo line inputs (e.g., for 1/8" plug).

Whu huppen to your Archos? I was considering those recently. A friend has one and claims it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

No, that would have to be TiVo. :D   But, this recorder is great (for line-in recording; the built-in condensor mic is crap).

I do like my 6GB, but after 2+ years and hundreds of hours of recording, I think the battery is on the fritz. Unfortunately, the older version does not have removeable rechargeable batteries (like the 20GB model does). So, I will end up replacing the whole thing.

STOP THE PRESSES!

Wrong! I had thought my older version had a built-in battery pack, like many of them. Turns out, mine DOES have removeable batteries. It had acted like it might be the batteries, but I had assumed (!) the previous ... and missed a very good recording today! :x

You might have just saved me $250. Thanks!  :D
