Is this it? http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?SKU=MMICROTRK >> Hi The topic of portable recorders comes up time to time on the Oddmusic list also. Here is a snip of a user review for the Micro: <<Unfortunately, the M-Audio Microtrack is a BIG loser. At least the first issued. I just returned mine. 1- It cannot attenuate its mics enough for loud sources. 2- There are serious battery problems (won't hold a full charge: Sam Ash has accepted tons back for this reason). 3- You need to go to their site and download a software pack to make the controls work correctly. 4- Actual use is cumbersome -- poor manual and illogical operation cripple this lightweight right out of the gate. M-Audio actually released this unit to the public with these tremendous flaws. Where's quality control?? and for $400? This unit, if working, should retail for, maybe, $300 or less. The sound was OK. But without digital line outs and finer D/A & A/D converters, I consider it a (non-working) toy. Maybe the newer release solves this. I hope so. It is small and lightweight. Fix the price and problems and it will make a good sketch pad.>> >> I thought I saw that Edirol has a new portable out the R15(?) but can't remember where I noticed it, maybe one of the NAMM pages or the MusicThing blogspot. regards BobCo http://www.cdbaby.com/rpcollier2 http://www.cdbaby.com/rpcollier http://trundlebox.iuma.com http://tinyurl.com/cr25j
