[linux-audio-user] Portable USB disk recorder?

Hello. Would any of you know if anyone manufactures a portable USB disk recorder? It needs to work as standard USB disk so that I may freely use it in any Linux and in any MS Windows 2000/XP. Below is what I have found so far: Creative, Nomad Jukebox, http://www.nomadworld.com -Good but requires a proprietary driver Archos, Jukebox Recorder 20, http://www.archos.com/ -Records only mp3 and at rate 160 kbps I don't understand why Creative always make their products too complicated: SB Live, Jukebox and all. What's wrong in them? OK, I have waited several years for a portable hard disk recorder to be used in my free sound library project, and it looks like I never get such a recorder. I don't have money to buy an expensive portable DAT recorder. Are there other options? Help. Best regards, Juhana
