I don't see where the poster says anything has been upgraded via firmware...just that the firmwre is upgradable. Like spaceman said, someone on this board had a lengthy conversation with HP support and the largest file you can create/save on the device is around 700 or 800MB and there are no plans to change this. 800MB will get you maybe 80 minutes, which is worthless compared to the Nomad's upper limit of three hours...

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.

Amen to that. With the G5's having optical in now, you'd think that would be the next step, but I have a gut feeling that the iPod is intentionally crippled for just that reason...

Files that big are not a problem for me at all, but no recording level adjustment?  has it been fixed through firmware?  Also i though there was an option to record in mp3 on the fly, why cant you record in mp3 and then decompress? Will it be damaged?

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

The issue is that the file size limit is too *small* - many of us record bands who play for longer than 80min at a stretch, or whatever the 800 MB file size converts to in minutes.  Having to stop a file and start a new one takes time and you'll miss part of the performance while stopping/starting.  Recordings with missing portions of music?  Boo.

MP3 uses lossy compression and the sound quality suffers - audibly - as a result.  After converting an MP3 to WAV, the WAV still has the same (poor) sound quality as the MP3.  To many music fans, MP3s sound like moose flop.  That's why we like to record in uncompressed WAV.

sounds sweet, about as good as my M1.  I've posted 2 recordings with it in kickdowns.

Unfortunately, I have had some problems recording line-in.

For Primus, about 50 minutes in, it decided to skip, kinda like an MD would except without a gap.  LOst about 2 seconds.

Then, last saturday for Pigmy Love Circus, I got this mild static on the recording for about 3 seconds, but the music is still dominate, leading me to believe it didn't come from the recorder.  Regardless, I still plan on selling the M1
