[nabentre] Digital Recorder

[Homme, James]

Hi Brad,
Thanks. I was looking on http://www.radioshack.com, and they had one for something like $39 or $49 that you could use, then copy the files to your computer. I am pretty sure I just want it to be able to do things like record interviews with those who give me permission, or record stuff I want to remember for later. 

Do you happen to know of a way to record phone conversations that is easy to set up?

Thanks.

Jim

Depending on your use. For voice noting use only you can get them on 
Amazon for under $30 such as an Olympus VN6000 for example. For music 
use or higher quality needs  for recording WAV format probably a 
couple hundred and up with SD card capabilities. Olympus has nice 
units and support blind folks with voice menus on the more spendy 
ones. I've a DS70 or is it 71, can't recall. It was like $325 when it 
first came out but now they've all come down some. I use mine as a 
mic as well for doing music work tapes, they got a pretty good mic in 
them actually.   For daily use I use the Olympus VN6000 and just got 
another one a couple months back for $33 including shipping. I've 
dropped mine several times sending it flinging across the room and it 
keeps on working... after I found the battery cover and batteries 
that is :). I usually go for the discontinued models because with GB 
capabilities continually going up, I'd rather stay lower for 
cheaper  as long as it works for me. The VN6000 will record 6000 
minutes on the lowest bit rate quality and I think 8 hours on its 
highest quality.

Hope that helps.
