Hey,

any new info on availability by end of june ... is this thingy really gonna come true by june/july ??

By now (shipping only two weeks away) we should have some up-to-date infos .... Anyone ? ... Pls ...

I suppose stocks of this will be VERY tight ... as is with R1 ... you actually have to haunt them ;o)

What do you think are the main advantages the m-audio will offer over the R1 ... ??

Wait for m-audio flashtracker or go with the R1 once you can get it in your hand ?? Any consensus ??

Check the other thread regarding this recorder. Shipping is planned for first week in July. Sound Pros is now taking orders. Other than that, no new info on the Flash Tracker.

Just got an e-mail from my Full Compass sales guy --

"I got a call from Dylan at M-Audio today.  He did tell me good info finally.  The FLASH-TRACKER--List $499.  Street $399 . . . . Dylan did say M-Audio is taking pre-orders for the FLASH-TRACKER despite being 6-8 weeks before it ships."

Just found this product that appears to make an IPod function like an OTG drive.

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=201526&pcount=&Product_Id=158350

Usually Belkin has very reasonable prices and most of the things they make are well made.  If this works like I hope then I will be able to buy say one 4GB card and transfer it to my IPod after a set.  While this is not ideal for most folks those that do have an IPod this may be a bonus.  My 3G IPod hardly gets used so what better storage drive.  Plus my 4G is 40GB and it'll hold at least enough to get me by until I can dump to a laptop.

That supposedly only works for pictures.

I'm thinking one Kingston 4gb card for $236 right now and then dump the shows to this device. You think this is viable? 20 gb for $139.00  It says it is bootable from USB, without windows.

You'd need a computer in between them.  What you're looking for is an OTG Drive, if I remember right.

[coloartist]

That was what I was wondering. I thought you might be able to send files like between JB3's.

[John Kelly]

You can, but you need a certain kind of drive.  There's a discussion on here somewhere about them, search for "OTG Drives" and you'll probably find it.

[Simp-Dawg]

those OTG (on the go) drives act as the host to transfer files to...a regular usb drive needs a computer to act as the host.
