Mp3 Players

any of you guys use Mp3 players to record your sets? and if so which ones..

I am thinking about getting the creative zen as it has in line recording and can record @ 128 and 160.

I use an old laptop to record, but you could also look at the Cowon U3 (or is it U2?). From what I remember, it has a line-in as well, but may only be able to record in WMA format (unless I'm confusing that with a Meizu M6, which only has a built-in microphone).

The m-audio micotrack II looks pretty cool. Kinda pricey tho.

Also check out the Edirol R-09.

Personally I use a Samson Zoom H2 flash recorder. $199, with a 4 gig card (under $50) I can record over 6 hours in WAV quality.

It's a more pro solution than something like the creative, but obviously more expensive.

Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 (it's 6 years old but still works).

I also use a Creative Zen V Plus but it only records 128/160 kbps MP3s..the Nomad Jukebox 3 does WAV and 320 MP3s.

ya im not really concerned about recording in WAV.. 128 will do fine as it will just be for promo mixes and nothing more.

eventually I will be getting a laptop later on down the road to record.

128 is very low these days, even for promo mixes. 192 or higher...

damn, I don't really wanna spend anymore then $150.00..

128 isn't ok for promo mixes?

I listen to sets that are recorded at 128 and they sound ok.

I can tell the difference for sure.

You should be able to record on a Creative Zen V Plus at 160 and those cost roughly $99 - $120. If your serious about making a promo mix, it should be good quality, so your best bet then is to probably plug your mixer into your line in of your computer or sound card and record from there. You will need your computer anyways to clean up your mix, upload it and burn it to CD. Use Audacity to record.
