Hello, Oryoki,
This list is extremely valuable. Thank you for compiling it. I have a
couple of comments...

The oral history recorder page at Vermont Folklife Centre put
together by Andy Kolovos lists the FR-2LE as a good choice. I have
one word for this mode of handling long files:

I can confirm with the 722 that the split appears to be seamless both
at the user-selectable file size (not only 2 GB, but as small as 650
KB to split the file so it fits on data CDs) and at the track break
locations initiated by pressing the record button while recording.

I think later firmware versions may have corrected this--at least
partially. When I ran the test at 96/24 stereo, there was glitching,
however at 44.1/24, no glitching was evident and it did not appear to
have an audible gap in the sound (I was just recording ambient).
Maybe I missed it.
