voice recorder

[Neskie Manuel]

Weytk,

This is an important question that should be ansered.  I highly
suggest not spending less than $100 dollars on a voice recorder,
because the low end recorders will limit what you can do with the
interview.  What if you'd like to give it to someone to put on the
radio or create a podcast.  Read this article for more background [1].

I would suggest getting either an

 * Olympus LS-10
 * Zomm H2 Handy Recorder.

Both create high quality wav files that can easily be edited in
software such as Audacity which is free/open source.  I avoid sony,
panasonic and other low end recorders because you usually need some
special software or the quality isn't good.

If anyone needs the lowdown on good audio equipment and tools check out Transom.
