I keep hoping to see 64k – but I fear the EN team fear people using it as a MP3 collection of crud-quality files. In reality, most people want 320k and up for music. Even 64k is challenging if you’re hearing or layering anything remotely complicated.

Still, it’d be nice to have rules back – just basic automatic date tagging and tag grouping would be nice – not necessarily an invasive rules engine.

Can’t see either happening anytime soon.

+1 to what Tiago said. I keep expecting on every update to see a user definable audio option to choose between 13kbps and 64kbps. We now how a great user definable way to get better snapshots of pages, so why not an option for vastly improved audio quality? I know the fear is file sizes, but most audio that would need higher quality is <5min and thus below the file size limits. These bigger file sizes would actually give me a reason to start going over the 60mb/month limit and I'd gladly start paying

Wouldn’t the better quality still increase the size of each audio clip?
It might be a storage issue for the Evernote Corp. and I believe even one of the reasons why they still haven’t offered us the option of video filming either.

My working process of notating the musical ideas must therefore start in Curio (http://www.zengobi.com/ no aff.) which is my digital whiteboard. It’s a great program and I have several short films sorted per each song they’re related to, good organizing and very powerful options.
The problem is that it’s all still and only on my MBA 11, laptop which I don’t always carry with me.

If I could do it from the scratch in Evernote it would be fantastic, the only way to get the films there is to go into the Curio file – package info and then drag the videos (.mov) on to a note in Evernote.
Tack about a _workaround_ …

U can use the audio on the iPhone and then email me into your evernote account

One thing that I really can’t understand is why Evernote records audio clips in a such low quality. It is almost useless for registering chords progressions for instance. It records audio at 13.0kbps, 8.0kHz which is way too low. It’s even hard to understand a speech in a noisy background. A 64.0kbps, 44.1kHz format (as used by iPhone’s Voice Memo app) is much more adequate producing good quality audio quality while generating small size files.
