Thanks, Lou, for pointing out my mistake.  I wrote

"Making the original recording with 88.2 kHz means the
reduction to 44.1 is simpler (just throw out every other sample) than,
say, the conversion from 96 kHz to 44.1 kHz."

This is incorrect.  When doing sample rate conversion from 88.2 to
Message: 44.
Subject: 1, the process that sounds best is not a simple subtraction of half
of the data.  The conversion includes dithering and interpolation,
too, which makes the process very similar to that used to convert from
96K samples to 44.1K samples.

I also wrote, "Some people think this [recording at 88.2 kHz]
helps preserve the sound of the original recording."  This part
is true, some people do prefer 88.2, which is why Olympus added
this sample rate to the capabilities of the LS-10.
