sidearms

after waiting and waiting to replace my sorely missed sharp mt-831 with a new Hi-MD unit, i have given up. i'm tired of sony's bulls**t proprietary garbage, crippled hardware and constant delays. after doing some research, i found the ideal replacement--iriver iHP-140. a 40gb recorder/player, with line/mic inputs, records in mp3 or wav (although there's a max recoding length, can't adjust recording levels during recording, no recoding level indicator just like the ihp-100 --> http://www.minidisc.org/part_iRiver_iHP-100.html ). the uploading recorders page should be updated to show this model, and the 20gb one, iHP-120. anyways--this is the one. it works like a real harddrive, just drag and drop, both downloading/uploading, and records in a good quality format. don't get me wrong, i've loved MD since day one, but i've had it with with sony headaches...anyone else?
