Digital recorder/playback units for use in the field

["Rosemary Royle" <>]

Olympus voice recorders are very good for recording bird song and playing it 
back (and indeed for playing recorded songs)  - we have a DS40 (now 
discontinued) - it has tiny stereo microphones and the quality is excellent, it 
is very light and it just uses a couple of AAA batteries. It was recommended to 
us by a guide in Nepal. However, you cannot label or rename tracks that you 
have recorded so the management of what you have recorded is difficult unless 
you download it to a PC.
