Does anyone know of an mp3 player that records to .mp3 format (not .wav)?

I have the same question and just stumbled on this thread. I have a Cowon iAudio x5 that records directly to mp3, and it works well (but too expensive to be an answer for this question). I have it dual booted with Rockbox but find the stock Cowon firmware to be much easier to use than Rockbox for voice recording.

Bummer to hear they've dropped mp3 recording in newer products. I'm currently in need of a second device for voice recording to mp3 and haven't found anything that meets the main criteria of being relatively cheap. Panasonic seems to rule the world of dedicated voice recorders, but their lower end ones won't connect to a PC with USB, which is fairly key for extracting them for playback elsewhere.

More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
