Folk-rock artist Jimmy Camp was recently evaluating options for recording his demo album. In frustration at not being able to find an affordable commercial recording studio that met his budget, he wound up recording using only his iPod. He purchased a Belkin Tune Talk ($70) mic accessory for his video iPod, connected it to a basic mixer, and was able to record his album, "Captain America," with no editing or special effects. Voila! Check out the results at Jimmy's site -- you be the judge.

Good show! (I also liked the video documentary, in which he rants about records being stripped of soul by overdubbing and editing, and then shows his unique approach to percussion.)
Technically, though, he just made a live two-track recording, which he could have done with any MP3 player equipped with a line input. The welcome iPod angle is that Apple finally enabled 16-bit recording.
