I think 16 Gig flash cards are going to be available soon if not already,
but the ticket is about $7500. Much cheaper to record on something less
expensive and Xfer to CDR or DVD>

A 24/96 capable recording interface that works with your PDA, apparently by
the end of this year you will be able to get 8 gig CF memory cards for it. 2
& 4 gig cards are already available. Tiny format, high quality recording,
easy transfer to DAW, what's not to love? I don't have one, but it's raising
a lot of eyebrows in the concert taping community.

  Does anyone out there have suggestions for a dependable field recording
format? Here at the Folklife Center, we're getting more and more queries
about this. In recent years most audio fieldwork has been done on cassette
or DAT, and even though both of those formats have a limited future, they
have a large user base and may be preferable for the short run while the
market decides just what will be available. That said, a lot of people are
rushing to buy items such as portable CD recorders and Marantz's flashcard
recorder, moves that they may live to regret. Still others are using
Minidisc recorders. One growing and intriguing possibility is laptop hard
drive recording, which can be accomplished with various combinations of
gear, but would seem to cost almost as much as a non-portable digital audio
workstation.

  Any suggestions or useful tales from the field would be appreciated.
Thanks!
