I know what your saying matt, my point is that the hd p2 is a high end 24 bit recorder. I really can\'t grasp why someone would record direct to mp3 on it. That is a seriously nice box, and anyone who owns it knows what they are doing. There has to be a full res copy out there.
I just looked it up. this box does not record to MP3.
