    No Wrens this Year?

    On my rather regular (slow) daily jogging tour I used to hear and see lots of wrens this time of the year. This year, however, none, or, occasionally one. I would be interested to know, if this is just a local problem or if other bird friends and watchers have had the same experience.

    Problems with Bird Songs on an Android

    Hi wedejaz, thank you very much for your help! I'm afraid my knowledge about handling smart phones etc. is very limited. Still I'll try to follow your advice. Meanwhile have I downloaded an app recommended to me, and this makes it possible to compile play lists, but not to use the function...

    Problems with Bird Songs on an Android

    Hi Recording Experts, I am the (new) owner of a new Android (Wiko Upulse Lite) and have successfully transferred the MP3 Bird Songs of Europe, North … (Andreas Schulze) to the Upulse.

    Efficient MP3-Player

    Thanks to Mono, Jim M. and pshute, your helpful answers encourage me to ask some further questions. I understand I'll have to scrap my out-dated equipment. Considering my ignorance, I would be very grateful for some more basic information: What kind of mobile phone, for example, could you...

    Efficient MP3-Player

    Hello everyone, Can anyone recommend an efficient MP3-player with built-in speakers which produce a reasonably loud sound, so that I could use it in the field for playback without external speakers?

    Suitable MP3 Player

    Hi everybody, I want to transfer the songs of "Birds of Tropical Asia 3" to a player. It should have sufficient capacity, the display should not be microscopic, and scrolling and finding individual songs should be easy. The one I use (Philips) drives me mad. It chases through the alphabet and...

The Sennheiser super mike MKH 418 S (stereo) costs some $ 1880. I wouldn't mind spending "a bit" more if...
