The MicroTrack 24/96 is a rugged high-fidelity mobile 2-channel digital recorder that records WAV and MP3 files to CompactFlash or microdrives, perfect for everything from professional field recording to corporate meetings, training, education and worship. Record via balanced line inputs or built-in high-fidelity microphone preamps complete with phantom power for studio-quality microphones. Connect MicroTrack 24/96 to a PC or Mac via USB and simply drag and drop recordings to your computer for immediate editing or Web posting. Power derives from a lithium-ion battery, and the unit can recharge via the computer’s USB connection or included USB power adapter. The MicroTrack 24/96 combines quality beyond that of DAT recording with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of personal digital recorders for the ultimate solution in mobile recording.

Summary: Great Until the Battery Runs Out
Comment: A local pro audio store sold me one of these with the claim "It is the only serious recorder capable of pro results." There may be some truth to that. With the SPDIF in, you have some serious options for a front end signal chain. However, after a year or so, the battery ceases to hold a charge. Then what is it? Junk.

Summary: M-Audio MicroTrack II
Comment: M-audio is a class act. When the MicroTrack II I ordered came in time for the children's Christmas Pageant I was happy. Then it failed out of the box. I called and after a brief talk with Glen they overnighted me a replacement and paid to ship the defective unit back. I still had it for the Christmas Pageant(two days to spare). The unit functions beautifully! I have recorded several things now and transfer of the digital files to my computer are simple. Wow what a wonderful product.

Summary: adding and Auxilery Battery makes this a better tool
Comment: After owning a Microtrack for a couple years and paying the factory to change a dead internal battery for $75 which then died dead 8 mos later I carefully pried open the back case, unsoldered the poor excuse of a battery from the small circuit board that is under the tape in the top of the battery and attached an external 3 AA battery holder (Allied Electronics 839-2487 with velcro to the back cover then wired a Radio Shack 2 conductor plug on the outside of the case so the battery case is field changable quickly. With 3 Li-ion AA batteries installed it charges fine and lasts way longer than the stock setup - so far I have run it 3 hrs and not killed the battery. Now its a true field recorder.

Summary: Some Peculiar Ascpects of Microtrack 2
Comment:
I pretty much agree and have experienced the same things from previous reviewers.
However, I found some peculiar things that have me puzzled, may be I am new to this device and need more time to figure out, but if anybody has a solution, I'll be delighted to know about them.
1- I realized that the flash card that have recording from my other machine (Edirol R-1), put into the microtrack, the files are invisible, I can see the files that were put in from the PC (directly to the flash card), but can not see the ones recroded by the R-1.
2- One of my hobby is recording radio shows that are late at night and can't stay up for them. I leave the machine recording theses showns for hours. R-1 does a great job it just stops when the memory gets full and I have the entire hours of recording in one huge file ready in the morning (I uses filler files so I could use a card for up to say 4 hours only).
With microtrack, when the memory card gets full, the machine stops and the huge file is discarded. That makes the machine unfit for this type of applications.
I may find more issues but this is it so far, BTW using an inline attenuator is a must, preamp definitely noisy.

Summary: Battery Replacement Making Money for M-Audio
Comment: In my opinion, this "made in China' unit and battery in this machine is a built in money-maker for M-Audio. The warranty covers the unit for 1-year, but the terrible battery for 90 days. Don't worry though, they offer a $75 battery replacement procedure. A third of the cost of the unit! Shame on you M-Audio! Time to admit these batteries are worthless.
