for all intents and purposes, i'd only use 16 bit WAV and the highest
bitrate (320Kb?) mp3 for recording.  capture the best quality you can,
and downsample or other wise mess around with it later.  do you know
if it supports variable bit rate (vbr) mp3?

me too.  lower cost, simpler user interface.  "just the bits, ma'am".

indeed, that's pretty sweet.  the way prices keep dropping, by the time
