Lou,

When I hear back from Tim (the gentleman I mention above) I'll post his
results to the list.  I know from asking and from Tim's experience that
the iPod photo and the Belikin card reader attachemnt won't work for
audio.  Eventually I'll get around to calling a few of the other companies
that make these things and post the findings to the Vermont Folklife
Center's Audio Field Recording Equipment Guide webpage:

Best,
