I believe it's possible to purchase what's known as a "powered microphone", which is one
that amplifies the signal to levels sufficient for a "line-in". A regular microphone, does not
produce the levels neccasary for line-in.

If you find a good/cheap one, let me know!

What are your best preferred recording settings that give best battery

life:performance ratio for the following situations:

*Lectures/conversations

*Videos/movie

*ambient/environment noise

*any others you can think of!
