Audio recorded in Argentina
I recorded all these clips on my iRiver IFP 899. I forgot to turn on the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) until the second from last recording, so they all sound a bit distorted when people speak loudly. Sorry.
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 96.0 kbit/6.80% (ratio: 12000->176400)

Audio recorded on journey back
It was at this point that I realised that being 5 miles up above a country meant I'd pick up lots of radio stations, and that my IFP had a direct encode function which means it can record from the radio. Unfortunately, most of my flight was over the Atlantic, but I did catch some stations in south Brazil, around the Sao Paulo area, and also when we crossed the top left-hand part of North Africa.
