Yeah, agree with Phil, Zoom have got a great product here, will be purchasing one myself in the next few Weeks. There are some great little products out there now, the Olympus DM550 dictaphone, records in stereo at high quality and it has speach. around £180. great for recording rehearsal sessions.

You can fit the Zoom to a tripod and it ships with a mic stand adapter. You can use the scroll wheel or, rewind and fast forward buttons to quickly move through tracks and it uses SD cards or, SDHC memory cards. Just bought 4 16 GB SDHC cards for it so I can store a lot of tracks on those. For example, our current set list is 1.2GB of data that's at 16 bit 44.1. Mind you, will probably master all of the tracks at 24 bit 44.1 as that will sound a bit better. you can also get a wired remote for the recorder which, I think I shall probably do. I love it! The only thing I am going to do though, is to add a couple of seconds of silence on to the end of tracks as that will give me more time to access the pause button. This sounds way better than using a minidisk, and if I go for 24 bit 44.1, it will sound better than CD.
