I just discovered there is one (or really one series) of flash based mp3 recorders that provides phantom power, or really "plug in power" like minidisc recorders. It's suppose to be 2.5v as opposed to the 1.5v of a typical minidisc. It's not DAT quality, but if you can live with 320kps mp3 files, the iRiver IFP-895T 512 MB MP3 Player is a steal at $99.99 shipped from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B5MJF8/ref=sr_11_1/002-5771515-6634459?%5Fencoding=UTF8 These do seem to break easily, but they are tiny, and the 512Mb of memory will give you 3 1/2 hrs at 320kps. The iRiver ifp 700 & 800 series were the only flash mp3 recorders that could power a condenser microphone, and they've been discontinued, so if you are interested now is the time.
