Ascariss, I'm sorry, I didnt mean to sound nasty I was just kidding. I just didnt have the time to type up the report till now. And yes, its good that I've got the opportunity to CONTRIBUTE for once rather than just taking from here... Anyway here goes the long journey, got the recording cable imported for egay, then got a 3.5stereo coupler. The recording cable as states does have the level control. Only after I got these 2 did I bother getting the s700 as I could have sold these on ebay and there was no point getting the s700 until i had got all the tools. Main concern was you couldnt upload your recordings like MD, esp as the manual I downloaded off here has no mention of it. So got the s700 4gb black from sony centre here in UK who had extra 10% off this weekend, so only cost £135, (I SAY ONLY!). Plug in the recording cable only then gives you the menu options to record, you can record atrac 128/256 pcm. atrac 256 is my preference therefore I think the display said 35hrs roughly so for when I go on my recording trips thats about 3 days of recordings which should just about cut it. YOU CAN ONLY RECHARGE VIA LAPTOP i.e. usb, this needs to be sorted! Recording atrac 256 from my MD for a few mins with volume on MD on full, then from my mic with bat module for a few mins... SHOCK HORROR, the tracks are not availabe in SS to upload. I thought all hope was lost. BUT NO, its far far better than MD, the tracks are viewable in explorer as OMA/PCM files that you simply drag drop to your PC. then drag drop into SS and export to wav, it had no problem doing this, then you can make your mp3's. Only serious problem was that the recording level was quite poor and quiet, however as stated above once I got it into wav i normalized the wav and it sounded 'right' brought up the level nicly, same goes for the mic recording all though I really need to test the mic recording a bit more. SO YES MD replacement is here, you can just either go through normalizing the audio post-upload or what I'm looking for is a pre-amp/batery module all in one, any help? Hope the above was useful...

THE REPLACEMENT FOR MD IS HERE! And just because the rest of you r such buggers for not being the least bit interested, i wont elaborate beyond that

Hi All, I just got the line-in recording cable for the s700, im looking at buying the unit to replace my recorings on MD. So next question is can recordings via line-in be uploaded. Im sure I can sell this recording cable on ebay, but rather not buy the unit unless im sure uploads work. Anyone tried??? Thanks
