Recording Live MP3 Files
I need a handheld device that records live voice in MP3 files (or another Mac compatible file format). I found the PoGo RipFlash Player, but it’s only Windows compatible. Does anyone know of any devices like this one that work on a Mac? If not, what’s my best option for getting MP3s into my iMac from a portable device?

What are you going to be recording? If you’re recording voice, I highly recommend a digital voice recorder. I have an Olympus DS-2000 that has served me well. It doesn’t record in MP3 format though…MP3 is inefficient for voice.
(You can, of course, convert it to mp3, but it’s two step process. DSS→AIF→MP3)

I want to record voice. Sorry, I should have made a note of that in my original entry!
The DS-2000 looks nice, although a little more money than I want to pay. It seems to be the only Mac compatible voice recorder on the market. Are there any others?

you could always get a cheap ~$100 minidisc recorder. try minidisc.org for more information. but they kind of do the same things as your ipod, so having two similar devices may be overkill.
