Did you buy a 5th gen iPod partly because it records audio in WAV format at full 16-bit CD quality, which can then be easily compressed to smaller size mp3s if required?
Then like me you’ll have been annoyed to discover microphones compatible with the 5th gen iPod video just weren’t available – until now, with stocks of the model below having just arrived into Australia on their way to online and retail stores.
Priced at AUD $99.95, it plugs into the dock connector of a 30Gb, 60Gb or 80Gb 5th gen iPod with video. No software is required as the ability to record is already built-in to the iPod – all we’ve ever needed is the right microphone. Belkin’s – available in black or white – has the two microphones you can see, along with a 3.5mm jack to plug in an external microphone or a line-in source. It also has a mini-USB port on the bottom so you can charge the iPod while still recording, so you don’t run out of juice half-way through an important business meeting, jamming session or class lecture. A mini kick-stand is included in the package turning your iPod into a high quality audio recorder that blows old tape and minidisc recording systems out of the water! Finally, you can record true CD quality stereo with 5th generation iPods!!
