Martyn,
What do you use as your recording device? I also have a Nomad Jukebox 3
which offers the option to record in an uncompressed wav format. But since=
Creative doesn't make the drivers for Mac OS X, I am kind of stuck with not=
being able to get my Powerbook to recognize the JB3. That is why I have to=
resort to the PCM-M1. Are there any other alternatives other than JB3 for=
hard disk recorders? I noticed that the Sound Devices 722 is still in the =
works.
