Nomad Jukebox 3, Sony Hi-MD not Mac compatible?

[bayydogg]

Are there any similar units compatible with Panther? I find that
people these days want a CD immediately after a live stereo recording
session. Fortunately, the Powerbook is excellent for the task, but I'd
like to record concurrently to a backup system. The Nomad and Sony are
good candidates if I were running a PC, because apparently you can
upload the wav or sony file to the computer. So, don't ask me to get a
DAT because that's real time, and don't suggest I get a PC. There's
got to be some low-cost consumer item that's OSX compatible, right?

Try an iRiver iHP-120 (about the size of an iPod, with USB 2.0
interface) with a Denecke AD-20 or one of our Mic2496s (dual mic
pre/A-to-D). Works fine with an iBook.

Thanks for the lesson in monopolistic economics and technology. I had heard
about this, but didn't realize that Apple's octopus arms reached over to
Creative Labs as well. Makes me want to ditch Apple on principal.

So which Creative Labs products record well? I'm looking for a quick
portable field recorder for interviews by high school students producing
radio spots. Quality has to be pretty good but not studio-like. Any
comments on iRiver products?

Thanks,
Carlos

It is also worth noting that iTunes workes with several makes of flash-based portable music players (a market segment in which Apple does not sell) but only one hard drive based player (a market segment in which Apple has quite a few cometitors.)

OK, folks, hold on. I just found a product that'll serve my purposes
precisely. It's the Edirol R-1 Portable 24-Bit WAVE Recorder & Player.
It records onto compact flash up to 2gb, and records stereo wav 16/44
and 24/44 as well as mp3. It runs on batteries or adapter, and has USB
2 transfer to Mac OSX and PC. Mic, line-in, built-in mic, spdif out,
headphone out, effects, etc. About $439 street. Specs look good.
Anybody use this already, and what do you think?

I rather liked that in concept, but I don't want another portable
recorder with mini jacks. I'm also not ready for flash memory as my
recording media. It's too expesnsive to put recorded cards on the
shelf for storage (even moderately short term, like six months or so)
and I don't know of anyone who owns enough of those cards yet who can
even assure me that the data "sticks" for that long.

So this puts an obligation on me to "unload" the recording to some
other media ASAP, perhaps even a few times mid-project. And while they
tell me that flash memory is cheap and cards up to 4 GB are
(translation - "will be soon") available, even on sale with rebates I
typically see 2 GB cards in the $140-150 range. That's about $50/hour
for 44.1 kHz 24-bit stereo recording media, about the same as 1/2"
analog tape.
