Is there an inherent problem with loss of quality using a pre-amped mic into a 
line input?  Or does it depend on the quality of mic/preamp/input?  I've 
ordered Pogo's mic and will let you know what I think of it.

  Following up--I have yet to find a portable MP3 Recorder/Player (ala the
  Pogo RipFlash or the Archos Jukebox or the iPod) that has an actual stereo
  microphone input.) Most of these devices have digitial voice recording via
  an internal microphone, but the quality would be quite poor for
  voice/musical recording. You could connect (and I believe Pogo sells) a
  pre-powered microphone that would connect to the line level inputs of the
  RipFlash, or connect the line level oputput of a small portabel mixer to
  which you had conncted a microphone, but once again this makes the
  "portability" an issue.

  It's only a matter of time before someone creates a true portable digital
  recorder capable of accepting direct microphone inputs--until then, we're
  all stuck cobbling together solutions.

  FWIW, the Marantz PMD670 has been getting rave reviews from some journalists
  I know. But $700 is a lot to spend. It is also limited in recording time by
  the size of the media you use. A typical 64Mb CF card will hold about one
  hours worth of mp3 format recording at a 128kbps bitrate (considerably more
  at lower bitrates.)
