I have searched on the internet. The Nomad Creative (III) is (indeed)
(almost 500 dollars/Euros) a hell of a machine. But: in the newsgroup
of Creative "they" mention that recording by microphone isn't working
alright (you don't have vu-meters for instance to adjust the recording
level), lots of difficulties with long recordings, and problems finding
the good combination microphone... what setup (mike) do you have, and
what is the result? As good as DAT? You can by a Nomad Creative
microphone, but that is just for speech (quality)...

Yours,
