Help! Goin Batty! Need MP3 Player that records live audio...

Aug 22, 2005 6:09AM PDT

Hi, I am going through all the reviews here on mp3 players that record. I would like to record my acoustic guitar playing and send it to people. The more I read, the more I am starting to get the feeling that none of these MP3 players have a decent recording function. I really dont want to get a minidisc, as I would like to also have my music collection on the same device.

Could anyone recommend the following? There are 3 things I need this MP3 Player to do.

1. Record live audio via external microphone using line in function (being able to control levels internally a plus)

2. I need a really good external microphone to plug into the lune in port. (Will I need a pre-amp mic?)

3. The ability to hook the player up to my car stereo.

Thanks for any suggestions you all can give me. I really do appreciate it.

JB
