Those who know me best know that I like my toys.  Perhaps a little too much.  I blogged about a new handheld recorder that I had purchased a few weeks ago that I plan on using for quick, on-the-spot recordings.  That was the M-Audio MicroTrack.  To date, I’ve yet to receive it.  Yeah - I ordered it a month ago.  To protect the not-so-innocent, I’ll spare the name of the place where I ordered this item.  This is the second time this year that I’ve had trouble ordering from this place, so I decided to cancel my order with them and will not be ordering from them anymore.

I checked another supplier, but they do not carry the MicroTrack.  In turn, I chose the Edirol R-09.  I think I made a good choice.  It has built-in stereo mics, records to SD cards, records in MP3 or WAV format, and is powered by AA batteries.  It should arrive today, and I’ll get to put it to use for the first time tonight.  (side note:  my sales rep from this supplier called me personally to confirm the order, verify method of shipping, price, and just to say hello - great customer service!)

I became more excited about my choice when I came across this website, which has an in-depth review of the recorder, complete with recording samples.

If you see me around recording everything in site, just smile and wave.  I have a feeling I’ll be using this thing a lot.
