Re: ipods for field recordings

["L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

Hi Per,
I saw a guy the other day with one ipod which had a
adaptable/removable microphone on the lower part,but i
forgot to ask him what model ipod he had.So you re
saying with a good mic think they be be just as good
as a say an Edirol R-09 or what u have?
cheers
Luis
