"Be careful clarnibass. The iaudio specifications include only an internal mike and a line-in socket that is not adapted to an external mike."

A condenser microphone that requires phantom power and connects with an XLR cable, probably, but are you sure about minidisk type microphones? I think the same type microphones you can use with a minidisk you can also use with the mp3 recorder, or am I wrong?

"There also seems to be a misconception that you only have to get the right piece of equipment and plonk it in front of your clarinet for you to start sounding like Sabine Meyer. Alas no...." etc.

If I gave the impression that I believe that misconception and I am trying to do a professional recording of my group, that I think the mp3 recorder would make me sound like Sabine Meyer (instead of how I want to sound), or that I think recording engineers are not important, then of course that wasn't my intention, although I can't see where I said all that.

I've narrowed it down to the iRiver H340, or the iAudio X5 (or X5L). I'll probably decide by the end of the week.
I would like to know what stereo microphone should I get for a better sound than the built in microphone? Or more specifically, what should I expect the price range to be for a microphone like that?

Thanks very much!
