Re: Choosing a player for recording

I bought an Iriver 120 on Ebay. I like it a lot. It's internal mics aren't
the worst, but of course they pick up the hard drive. I think one needs a
preamp to use external mics, but the line in and out can be switched to
become digital optical for sources that use that. I think the H1x series is
the only mp3 player/recorder ever made that ever had digital input and
output.
