Hi Ray,

Neither the Book Port, nor the Courier, record to MP3 at all, they record in
Wav, and pretty poorly at that.  They are not designed to be good recorders
at all.

All the best

Steve, you can illiminate the Olypus DS50 from your shoppinglist as it
doesn't
do MP3 recording, just WMA.  Think it does playback MP3's though, but not
sure.

The front runners for what you want might appear to be the Edirol R09 which,
although not accessible in the sense of voiced prompts, has been found to be
pretty usable.

In the accessable field, then something like the Bookport or Book Currier or
the
Milestone is hwat you are after.  A useful place for discussion of this

personally, I really like the Zoom h4, as it has both XLR and quarter inch
jack inputs, takes standard AA batteries, records to SD cards, and has a USB
port, as well as loads more. I also found it super easy to get it recording,
and it isn't too pricy either, especially for all the features it has
on-board.

Subject: [access-uk] accessible mp3 recorder - any recommendations?


Hi All
Sorry to pose the perennial problem once again, but can I have
recommendations for the most suitable accessible MP3 recorder/player that
would fit my requirements most closely?

A couple of times a year I need to make recordings from different analogue
sources, all of which have a standard headphone or line outlet, so my first
requirement is for a player which can record to MP3 via a line in socket.
the quality needs to be good, but no more than 44.1 kHz, 16 bit at 128 kbps.

It would be nice if it recorded to an SD or CF card, otherwise a USB port
would be essential as I'd like it to play back standard MP3 files downloaded
from my computer, but at an increased speed, at least 50%.

As it would be used infrequently, it should ideally take ordinary alkaline
batteries, and maybe it could play back daisy audio books.

So what about the book courier or the new book port 2, or the edoral or the
milestone 311, or the Olympus ds50?

All advice would be gratefully received.

Steve Green
