- franga2000 4y agoThere are very few situations where you can't just use a phone, but don't need any of the features of a proper audio recorder (phantom power, multiple inputs, XLR/jack, a good directional microphone...). It wouldn't hurt to have a mic on the player for sure, but I can't see it unlocking any new use cases.
- misterprime 4y agoThere's a whole market for stand alone audio recorders. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=audio+recorder&crid=1W4GXCLJNGKPI&sprefix=audio+recorder%2Caps%2C215&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=audio+recorder&crid=1W4GXCLJNGKPI...
- franga2000 4y agoOh yes, I've used those a few times and they were great. They're usually quite cheap (sub 50€), have weeks to months of battery, tactile controls (so you can use them for narration without looking) and (perhaps most importantly) large and high-quality microphones. Not something you can just add to an mp3 player.
- misterprime 4y agoThanks! Yes, they have nice features of their own. What about adding an mp3 player's features to those products?
