It may well be that the best has just been announced: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=12630&hl= But no-one knows yet because there are no accessories that will use the new stereo recording capability on the iPod.If there is no restriction on the file size then the only limitation will be battery life on the iPod.Could it be that some wise soul will launch an attachment that adds microphone and power to the iPod using the connector at the bottom?Given the lunatic speed with which such accessories appear we may not have to wait long to find out...

Just spotted this-more questions than answers though.... http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2005/10/new...-recording.html

Yes,it is not like Apple to hide their lights under a bushel is it?!So how would it work?Not having used any kind of mic with an iPod before or ever recorded to one(I do have a 1st gen Hi-MD though)do you download additional software to the iPod?How do you set recoding parameters and so on?And now Apple have taken away the remote on the top leaving just the headphone output are there any existing accessories that would be able to take advantage of the new recoding capabilities in the new iPod?

Recent reports of the new audio capabilities of the new video iPod are starting to emerge-why does video get all the attention-and there are implications here for the second generation of Hi-MD recorders: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/5649 What do folks think about the ability to record so many hours of uncompressed stereo on a 60GB device and get video capabilities for free?
