[TriLUG] Semi-OT: Digital Voice Recorders

[David A. Cafaro]

I actually own the iRiver H120 (20GB HardDrive based player) and it
works VERY well.  Any yes it has a built in mic that works good, and can
accept an external mic as well.  Also it plugs in perfectly with linux
and shows as a usb mass storage device (big reason I bought it).  Also
ogg support.  But then you are starting to look at pretty expensive for
these ($250-300).  It records from voice in either mp3 or wav files. 
Also they make flashmemory based players as well that have mics and work
as usb storage devices.  But I don't know what kind of time limit they
have since you are more limited on storage.  Probably depends on
recording format.
