digital voice recorders...

[rudeguy]

I got the ok to record when I speak next week. Now I need to find a decent but not too expensive voice recorder. From what I have read, I want to avoid the ones that don't record in mp3/wav. I would rather drag and drop than deal with conversion.

Any thoughts?

Got an MP3 player? Most have recording built in.

the olympus ones that have slots for SD cards are usually pretty nice, lots of lawyers use them for dictation so they can't be TOO bad. Most have multiple modes, like room recording or just close voice recording

I love ATOT and all...but I don't love them $180 worth.

Only caveat is file format is WMA.

this. you can get a refurb unit for 20 bucks or less, like an old sansa, that should have a mic.

i was surprised by the clarity of the sansa fuze mic. i recorded drunk johncu at the raleigh meet. hes a riot.

I am speaking about my experience with alcoholism and recovery next friday.


Anyone else have input on using an mp3 player like the sansa?

I'll look for my Sansa C240. You can have it if I can find it. It has a voice record feature. If I find it, I will send you a PM asking for your address. I can ship it tomorrow.

i think you should take a look at some of the olympus models. some of the models have drag and drop support, works like a usb drive, wma audio which is better than dealing with some proprietary format that requires you using some supplied software *cough*sony*cough*.

Ain't nothin wrong with tape. The quality is much better than the cheap digital ones. Only thing is u need a 3.5mm M-M cable to record it to your pc.

How much better would the sound quality be with an olympus over an mp3 player?
