I only did one test message on my unit the other night and I have to
agree, the recording quality was not good at all, my voice sounded
muffled and there was a lot of hissing or motor noise. However, I must
qualify my statement, all my recording to this point has been analog and
on cassettes, unless you want to count college when I had to use
reel-to-reel a lot, just thinking of threading those reels and hearing
them flop around when you finished a tape makes me very glad for today.

Subject: [bookport] better recording quality in the book port
OK, Here is my new feature for today. I am sure it has been mentioned
before, but I have some different observations after playing with a
number of MP3 players that have very good sound recorders in them. So,
you've probably guessed by now that I want a recorder that is a bit
better than the one we already have in the book port. Yes, the book
port is a reading device, just as the other commercial MP3 players are
marketed as MP3 players, but many of them have recorders. This seems to
me to be just as vital or even more so for the book port. If people are
reading a book, it would be nice to quickly be able to record a memo
that might relate to what they are reading. Now, my bias is for a very
good quality recorder. I guess that comes from my running a recording
studio. But, how good it has to be will be a factor of price, what
others want, and a few other things I can't possibly know. The bottom
line is that I would like the quality of the voice recorder in the book
port to be somewhat better than it is now.
Thanks.
Neal
