Audio Recording on New iPods

Posted by pudge on from the we-are-listening dept.

    This could be VERY cool. Assuming that the input can work as a line in, I could see hooking up a nice set of mics to a mixer, run it into the ipod and use it as a very quick and easy recording setup for band practices. Download the resulting MP3/WAV files and email them out to band members. :) (or perhaps come up with some funky script that would de-hiss the recording, compress it slightly, etc)

    Apple has recently been awarded patents relating to improved speech recognition. Could this be the next "insanely great thing"?
