I had contact with someone from edirol Uk and he told me the device takes up
to 4GB flash cards. from someone else i heard 3gb is always the maximum
(technical), but this is not the biggest problem i guess if you can just
press record again and record 2gb once more.
I have not seen any more decent pictures. i am especially intrested in the
LCD levels. Are there any?

Hi John,
I've been using Linux exclusively for my DAW for a couple years now.
It's taken a while but there now seem to be fairly equivalent tools
available under Linux for audio work. I don't do much CD ripping,
mainly just transferring of DAT's and burning CD's. Here's what I've
been using:
Audacity - nice cross-platform (free) audio editor. I've used it for
some simple editing (normalization, fades, etc) and it works quite
nicely. It also works w/ a good variety of plugins but I haven't tried
any of this (yet). The homepage is: http://audacity.sourceforge.net
wavbreaker - this is a simple little app that quite resembles CD Wave on
windoze. However it only has 1 purpose, and that's to split wav files
into tracks. Like CD Wave wavbreaker splits tracks along CD sector
boundaries so that there are no pops or clicks between tracks. The
homepage for wavbreaker is: http://huli.org/wavbreaker and I'm actually
maintaining RPMS of wavbreaker, which can be found here:
http://homer.homelinux.net/rpms
K3b - this is a nice burning app, which is essentially a front-end to
either cdrecord or cdrdao. I've found some minor problems w/ the
cdrecord included in recent Red Hat/Fedora distros, so I always using
cdrdao as the underlying burning software. One thing to note about K3b
- make sure to set the default pre-gap in the preferences to 0 seconds.
If you don't do this even when selecting DAO it will add 2 second gaps
between tracks. K3b is included in Fedora Core now, and their homepage
is: http://www.k3b.org/
xmms - this is essentially the winamp equivilent for Linux.
grip - this is a nice little CD ripping app. It's essentially a
front-end for cdparanoia and cdda2wav. Haven't used it much but it
seems fairly nice. It's included in Fedora releases, and probably other
distros too.
growisofs - this is a simple command line interface for burning DVD's.
It's free, included in Fedora (and probably others), and easy to use.
mplayer - this is a gui app that will play DVD's and movie files (mpeg,
avi, etc). This seems to have the widest support for the various
different video file formats, at least from my experience.
And if you've made it this far I also have a few handy scripts I've
written for the tasks I do frequently:
drecord - simple wrapper script for using arecord (ALSA)
dburn-shns/dburn-wavs - for burning CD's from .wav, .shn, and .flac
formats.
dshn/dflac - these will compress .wav files to .shn or .flac and create
the files containing md5 checksums.
These scripts are available here: http://homer.homelinux.net/scripts
Enjoy, and support free software!
Peace,
Dave

well, i took the plunge and bought my first computer ever (dell inspiron
8100 laptop $1500), i work all day on a computer so last thing i've
ever wanted to do was go home to one, but i finally folded.
still looking for some advice on linux audio/video tools.
i really need a good audio editor, gnusound wouldn't even compile (which
is surprising since most gnu stuff is easy to build).
here's what i've found so far:
cdp/cdplay command line playing cd
aplay command line playing sound files
xmms gui for playing sound files and cd
cdparanoia EAC'ing cdda audio *
cdrecord write audio files to cd
cdda2wav read audio file from cd
xcdroast gui front end to cdrecord (have to use ide-scsi
interface) **
cdrecord-ProDVD read/write dvd (still testing, looks very promising)
xine play dvd with gui
*=xcdroast uses cdda2wav, but cdparanoia seems to have more paranoia
protection
**=use 4x speed for 90 minute CDRs
anybody else found some good stuff out there!?

According to the design engineers at Edirol, 2 GB is not the limit. 4 GB CF
will work as well. We are accepting preorders for this now. We will have
them in Mid-November. Our price is $439
thanks,
Frank

Do you know if the 2GB CF card maximum is really the maximum, or only
the largest they knew of when they wrote the copy?

Check out the Linux Sound apps page:
http://linux-sound.org/
Regarding editors, Audacity looked promising the last time I tried
it. It even had spectral views implemented, really useful for
editing quiet music. Links for Audacity and other Linux soundfile
editors are available at the direct link
http://linux-sound.org/snded.html
If you tend to record concerts, cdrdao is really useful for setting
track and index marks in a big soundfile without having to save
lots of shorter files. If you've got a DVD burner in your machine,
you might also want to check out dvd+rw-tools and k3b, too.

Looks good, Klay - but I think the question on everyone's mind is - what is
the capacity using a 2GB card (max) when recording in 24-bit wav mode?
Edirol only specs 137 min using the 64MB card supplied when using mp3 mode
at 64kbps (yuck!)
Can you get some additional info from Edirol? Other than the fact that a
2GB card will cost more than the recorder itself, this looks very promising.
Depending on what they say, maybe a smaller card could be used, but I am not
optimistic about that.
Thanks,
Dave

The website ("Recording Time Table" link) says a 2GB card at 24 bit,
44.1 kHz (no choice of sampling rate) gets you 125 minutes.
