Thanks, Danny.
It's lookin' like I'm gonna have to step up and do something like the D50. =
I had thought about the M10, but since these recordings will be a commercia=
l product, I need the best audio I can get.

I appreciate your help. Since you have the D50, maybe you can field this on=
e as well. I've heard that such recorders---the Olympus LS-11, Sony M10 and=
 D50---produce "CD quality" sound with the on-board mics. Do you have an op=
inion on that?

Thanks
