[Feature Suggestion] Recording to WMA or some other format.

Dammit people, I'm not talking about bands!

The mention of that though is a bit off-topic.

Are there any other good formats that have a fixed-point encoder that can be made available for Rockbox?

wavpack, mp3, wav

No it isn't - you claim that changing the sample rate of an already recorded piece of music makes it sound better - it doesn't.  If you think you can hear a difference then you are suffering from the placebo effect (OK, so the bands were a bit off-topic).

lol. You make it sound like a disease or something.
Besides placebo effect and all that, is there anything that can be done?

About what?

Well about the topic of this thread, the formats.

Any format besides the ones already there that have fixed point encoders?

Honestly, if quality matters you should generally just record wavpack and then transcode on the PC. A realtime encoder on one of these players is never going to be able to have the same optimizations as a PC-side one because they're so much slower. Instead most lossy encoders are going to lean in favour of speed so that they'll never be too slow and lose data. So just free up enough space to encode losslessly and you're alright.
