Title: Awesome portable recorder
Review: I got the iRiver for it's recording abilities only and I love it. I used it with a pair of binaural mics to record a classical concert and it sounded fantastic. The onboard mic preamp is very clean and powered my mics just fine. I do a lot of field recording of sound effects and this unit has just replaced my portable DAT recorder as my main recording device. It's very easy to use for recording and the fact that you can record at 44k WAV files is fantastic. Also has the ability to accept multiple input types (optical, line in, external mic) all from the same 1/8" input.Recording does eat up the battery a lot more than just playing music does. It only lasts about 5-6 hours (possibly more) of steady recording, but that is still quite a bit.If you need a portable recorder for any reason, you will be extremely happy with the iRiver.
