    Portable sample recorder recommendations ?

    Bob, there are many options out there including the ones mentioned already, but finding out what's "right" for you will depend on the type (or main type) of application: what you'll record, and what the end result needs to sound like. -will you mostly be recording sounds/effects for...

    Sample library piracy - solutions

    I believe that it is neither a solution for piracy, nor a good strategy for running a viable business.

    Sounds Effects??

    Depends on what you mean. If it's for your own use (i.e. as per the license agreement) you can obviously mangle the sounds all you want*.
