Recording via optical-in

Hi,

I just wondered if the recording section on H 1** players is finished or if someone intends to add recording via optical-in.

I someone does it would be great knowing it's in progress. Otherwise I would like to say thank you all for the great recording features (e.g. the peakmeter) you gave to us.

Mmmm:
The recording screen is nowhere near finished...Have a look HERE for a load of, as yet, uncommitted upgrades...

I don't know about the optical in though...I'm sure it will eventually get done although I personally cant think of any point in it...
Surely if you already have a digital source, you are better off re-encoding it using a computer instead of doing it real-time through the optical in? Or maybe there is something else you could use it for that I haven't thought of...?? :-)

AGI:
Many tapers use external mic preamps/AD converters (for sound quality reasons, phantom power etc.) and feed a digital signal to the recorder.

I for one have a digimod Edirol UA5 that I'm currently using with a Nomad JB3 (which has a digital optical in).

I'd like better to use it with my Rockbox H120 ;-)

Mmmm:

Ahh I see.... so basically if you want to use an external a/d converter..
You learn something new every day! :-D

Actually that's the one item missing from Rockbox to make me happy (OK - happier :) ).

I have a lot of digital sources (Satellite, hifi-system) in rooms without computers.
Also I'd like to be able to hook up my portable CD player with optical digital out to
copy CDs "in the field".
The Iriver records in WAV, so you can get the best quality possible. With this feature,
the Iriver plays in the same league as professional portable recorders.

The encoding - if necessary - will be done on a PC later, you're right about
that. That doesn't make a digital in pointless.
