Not really.  The only small music-focused recorder they make right now is the PCM-D100 which is far more expensive at ~$800, which IMO is far too high a price for what it does.

They still make their voice recorder line, but those don't have the recording capabilities of the M10 and similar devices.

The new Tascam DR-100 mkIII is what I'd buy if I needed something like the M10 right now.

The power switch on my M10 is sticking.  You know how you pull it down to power on the unit, then let it snap back to the middle position?  Mine just stays stuck in the down position.  Anyone else experience this problem, and have a fix for it?

There's likely gunk behind the slider (pocket lint, stale beer, etc.). Try blasting it with electrical contact cleaner. Just don't use the stuff with added lubricants. :cheers:

But new Tascam DR-100 mkIII has 2 XLR input instead of a 3.5mm plug like M10  :'(

The Tascam DR-100 mkIII also has a 3.5mm input as well as the 2 XLR inputs. The 3.5mm EXT IN jack on the top of the recorder will supply plug-in power just like the M10.

The DR-100 mkIII is a lot larger than the M10, so it might not be a good replacement option for some. I don't have any personal experience, but the R-05 seems to be pretty popular and I know several people who think highly of the small Olympus recorders, so maybe those would be good substitutes. And maybe Sony will introduce a replacement. I think the M10 sold pretty well, so you would think they wouldn't completely abandon that market...

The R-05 gets my vote for heir alternative to the M10 throne.  Doesn't have the astounding battery life of the Sony but you should be good for about a day of festival taping.  The R-05 might actually be slightly smaller overall and the specs are just about the same as the M10.  In nearly 5 years, mine hasn't given me so much as a hiccup of trouble.

I have had 2 for a while, back in the DAT days I had the need to have 2 "just in case", and I continue to have the backup for times when I have to wear the hat, as I have a SD for stand shows....
I hope they bring something new to CES in January

Odd experience today: My spouse/partner has a PCM-M10 which she uses for playback of pre-recorded piano accompaniments for her singing. It has worked perfectly any number of times. But today at her voice lesson when she turned it on, the settings for playback speed and "key" (= pitch) had both shifted downwards, as I confirmed this evening when I looked through the menu settings.

Thing is, until tonight when I showed her, she didn't even know how to get in to the menus or to operate them, and no one else had had access to the recorder. Those settings just "changed themselves," it seems.

Has anyone else here had this happen?

speed control switch on the back got moved, almost guarantee it.
Happened to me once in the car listen on the way home from a show, slide off the seat, hit the floor and moved without me knowing it was even there, had my heart skip a beat thinking I broke something lol

It's switch "28", top left as you look at the front of m10

^And I don't think that the switch on the back affects the recording..  only playback.

Thanks for the reply and the link to the instruction manual. Yes, the DPC switch must have been turned on by accident. But that's understandable as a result of normal handling--and I found that problem easily enough, since a rectangle was displayed on the screen that showed the setting being applied (-15%).

That's the least mysterious part of this incident; what I don't understand is how the menu settings could have gotten set the way they were. The DPC menu item has a factory default of -30%, not -15% (of course I immediately set it to 0 so that the DPC switch setting now has no audible effect). And the "Key Control" (= pitch) was set to lower the pitch a half-step, and doesn't depend on any switch. It certainly wasn't set that way before yesterday, though neither of us accessed the menu in between.

So I hope that these settings won't slip again, if that's what they did.
