I suggest that the Clip could record in mp3 format rather than in wav,it can save up a lot of space especially on the small 2 gigas.

Real time mp3 encoding takes plenty of processing power, and would probably also consume battery power at a higher rate. The processor in the player might not even be able to handle this. Recording as a WAV file is better. Yes, it does take up much more space. You could convert the WAV file to mp3 when you get home. The voice recorder gets around 6 hours of recording per gig. If you want to do plenty of voice recording, then get a memory card, and transfer your music to that. The voice recorder needs to record to the player’s main memory.

My answer was for the Fuze. I don’t know if it is the same bitrate for voice recording on the Clip.

Hi there,

Just like to check how is the quality on the voice recording, are they acceptable?

I am using c200, the mic is not sensitive, I have to place very near then I can record & the quality is no good.( lack of clarity, no mid & hi)

Best regards

Depends on what you deem ‘acceptable’. Designed for little verbal notes to yourself, or recording your babie’s 1st burp, or maybe a classroom lecture, the sound quality from this little device is not going to be shall we say ‘state of the art’.

I think your present experience os probably typical.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, it can take decent verbal note.

Cheer!!

 With the right firrmware the e200 seems to be able to handle it without any problem.  Writing to flash takes some energy too, and you could be reducing that by 10x.
