You rock dude. Thanks alot.

Where could I find a battery module or pre-amp such as you speak of? Any recommendations? I have a MZ-S1 and it only had a Line In / Optical In. I tried using a microphone from radio shack that had a small battery inside of it, and it had results that were disgraceful. The audio volume was not even loud enough to edit in a software program. Thanks!

Is there a way to get a microphone to work with a line in? I have an MZ-S1 that has a line in/optical jack. And If I plug a mic into it and record, I get a faint sound. Probably in the -50 to -20 decibel range (guessing) What are my alternatives to buying a different model? Thank anyone for their help!
