It's a nifty little voice recorder made by Olympus. It has talking menus
for most of its functions, has 1 GB of built-in flash memory, a choice of
mono or stereo microphones, and records everything in WMA format. Although
it is designed for recording dictation or meetings, I find it adequate for
recording rehearsals of my church choir and praise band, where I play
congas.
The NFB sells this unit for $220, last I checked. There are better
recorders for serious musicians or professionals recording "in the field",
but I think this unit is a good compromise.
