Abstract
A portable digital audio recorder is operable with solid state memory cards having varying storage capacities. When a memory card is installed in the recorder, the recorder determines the storage capacity of the memory card. The recorder then automatically selects a recording mode based on the detected storage capacity of the memory card. When the memory card has a high storage capacity, the recorder'selects a high-quality recording mode, with low or, no data compression. When the storage capacity of the memory card is relatively small, the recorder selects a high-compression recording mode.
