Each MP3 file has a header that contains info, including the sample rate and encoding bit rate. Most MP3 player applications will give you access to this info.
Suggest you up your bit rate when making MP3s. The 16 kbps seems to be really chopping up the audio. Try 128 kbps for starters.
Just out of curiosity, how do you know the sampling rate. There isn't clue in the manual that came with it?
However, I downloaded a software recorder that does 128 kbps for only $29 and it works like a charm. Condx too lousy tonite to record anyone but the playback is indistinguishable from the original when played back through the same speakers.
This may be old news but seems to fit into the discussion if on air recording is what is wanted. AD Dave sent me the link and if anyone is interested it is
