One more note about future recording: Take a look at the product 
announcement for a seriously cool new MP3 recorder called the 
Orban "Sountainer"
 
http://www.orban.com/orban/products/codec/sountainer_overview.html

No bigger than a flip-top cell phone and weighing only 5 ounces, this 
diminutive product is designed for field recording.  The Sountainer 
captures near-CD-quality stereo sound (128-Kbps data rate sampled at 
44.1 kHz) to solid state multimedia cards (MMC).  A single 256MB 
memory card can hold up to 4.5 hours of mono MP3 recorded at this 
data rate.  Upload recordings to PC or Mac via USB.  No indication of 
price or delivery date.  I couldn't find a note on the Web from 
anyone who has actually used this product.  Orban, the company that 
produces the Sountainer, manufactures analog and digital gear used by 
radio and tv stations.
