afaik, the Archos does not record to .wav. The problem with the Nomad 3 has been that there are no recording level controls...until recently. Creative recently released firmware upgrade that gives you: "Enhanced Recording Features - Audio Monitoring for Line-In and Optical-In - Stereo Recording Level Meter - Recording Level Adjustment" Amazon sells the 20GB version for about $330, and the 40GB for ~ $500...and you can get 'after market' 60GB versions on ebay. I've been toying with getting one of these for a while now, but have held off because of the lack of recording meters, but now that that has changed....hmmmm. Apparently the "3" version has fixed a bunch of problems in earlier versions, and has pretty good audio specs. If you do a search on groups.google.com for 'nomad jukebox 3 recording' there are a couple of good threads about this beast in rec.audio.pro. It looks like the software shipped with the unit does *not* give you a standard filesystem view, and is said to be repleat with adware and even spyware(!). Apparently the shareware 'notmad' at http://www.redchairsoftware.com solves these problems. Note that there is no mic preamp in the unit, only optical and analog line in. I'd like to hear other's experiences recording with this dealybob!
