I can imagine that the peak meters don't move in the > Archos firmware either. The do. I'm currently uploading some quicktime videos to show you the differences. Both time it's a digital recording. The sound you hear in the background is the digital out of the Archos fed thru my MD recorder. See "http://www.syltlinks.de/rockbox/" clip2.mov - for the Archos clip3.mov - for Rockbox. (I didn't press play to start the recording until after the clip - the peak meter does not change when I start it though) > > > - When I stop recording and play back a file I got some strange > > results.

Yep, at least after each longer recording. See "clip1.mov" Here I stop a two hour recording and play it back right away. Stutters three times (at :20) and then starts... afterwards I try to confuse the machine by forwarding which had caused trouble the last time...

Here's another short suggestion. Unlike the Archos firmware you do not turn off the input when I stop a recording. This is really useful - because I can still hear the source and already get ready for the next recording. Can we have a similar thing for the recording source selection menu as well? I would welcome if you put the selected source on the headphones while you're in that menu as well. > > While I'm writing this I'm doing long time recording tests - let's > > see if the code works for 3 hours in a row...

I bought the Archos because it could record and I'm fed up with it crashing half of my overnight recordings. BTW, the fist two 1/2 hour recording seemed OK - couldn't record longer as the batteries were almost empty. I edited it in with mp3directcut and there was only one very small drop out (which might have come from the satellite source) - apart from that everything seemed OK. How is the behaviour for low batteries at the moment? Do I have to watch them closely or will the unit turn of soon enough? The next long recording is running, if anything worth mentioning happens, I'll post that.
