USB Audio Recorders?

Posted by Cliff on from the replacing-the-pocket-cassette-recorder dept.

arunmehta asks: "We're setting up short-range mono FM radio stations in Indian villages. We're currently recommending minidisk recorders to tape and edit (mostly voice) -- does anyone have a better idea? In some stations, we will also implement radio-surfing, so there will be a PC available, and so would like some USB-type connectivity that allows bidirectional transfer of digital audio at speeds higher than real-time. Suggestions for a recorder?"

    For Mac users, the Griffin Powerwave has the following features:
    RCA input and outputs, 1/8" inputs and outputs, built in USB hub and DSP, digital audio amplifier.

    Wintel folks will want to check out the Telex device. Edirol UA-1A (44.1 kHz only), Edirol UA-3, GriffiniMic, Opcode DAT-/SonicPort (optical), Onkyo MSE-U33(HB), Onkyo SE-U55 and Roland-ED UA-30.

    How many of these have drivers for Linux is anybody's guess.
