Or, if you're in no hurry the C.H.I.P. computer can handle audio input/output and is cheap.

Recommending CHIP over Onion? Why is that? Just curious...-wraith808 (December 29, 2015, 11:07 AM)

It's cheaper :)
Plus I haven't really looked at the audio input/output capabilities of the Onion whereas I knew that the C.H.I.P. had both with no extra hardware requirement. To record a sound as a WAV file. To play a sound, (WAV, OGG, MP3).
So really just a matter of seeing whether the C.H.I.P. can do the MP3 encoding on-the-fly when recording, (1GHz vs 400Mhz CPU in the Onion, 8 times the RAM, 4GB of onboard storage that can be used for buffering). Depending on what the final recording qualities are to be, if it's for something that only requires a low bitrate, (like voice), then I would think it'll have no trouble.
It can also handle USB flash drives without requiring a hub since you can still connect a mouse/keyboard via Bluetooth. Add a LiPo cell and you have battery backup if that's important.
I've got two C.H.I.P.s arriving sometime next year along with a HDMI adapter, something else to sit on the desk and gather dust ;D

Ok... thanks for the breakout! I was just wondering as I knew you'd used the onion. Mine is still in my static bag. I have a CHIP coming too, so was wondering your reason for the preference. They've offered to ship me a new mini dock for the price of shipping... but their cart wouldn't handle the shipping. *sigh*. They've also said after being sent a picture, insert the needle here... but that didn't work. I'm getting quite tired of the back and forth on it. :(

Yours if you want it, I don't have a use for it.

Wow! Thanks! I'd given up... PM incoming!
