Hi, its me again.  Sony has no less than three mikes to go with the WM-D6.
Sigh!, I feel like I'm advertising J&R (1-800-221-8180) but anyway these
will give you some general prices.  There is a small one-point stereo
microphone specifically designed for the Sony Walkmans uses back electret
mic elements and plugs directly to the mic jack (no cord) the ECM-101
34.95, also the ECM-102 39.95 (I have no idea what the difference is).
For real fancy there is the Mid-Side ECM-929LT for 59.95 which they
claim produces true stereo imaging with Mid-Side matrix ciruitry by
electronically mixing singals from the mid and side microphone capsules
(the mic looks reminescent of a handgun).  Similar but more mike looking
is the ECM-939LT another Mid-Side mike for 79.95.   J&R sells the WM-D6C
without the headphones but with the AC adaptor and the ECM-939LT Mid-side
mike for 389.95.
