<div><font color="#000000">Just to add to this thread from an archival
perspective. If you are recording unique things that you want to be
available to generations to come then you need to think about the
format of what you are recording and whether it will endure. Olympus
and other small (and cheap, unfortunately) recorders do not record in
archival formats.</font></div>

storage of recorded material and endangered languages you could look

<div><br></div>
<div>There was a discussion of recorders on the RNLD list and if you
go to the archive of the RNLD list, here:<font color="#000000">
http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?S1=resource-network-lingu<span
></span>istic-diversity</font> and search for 'flash' and 'recorder'
you will get some useful info</div>

I have been using Olympus digital recorders for years now. They have
3<br>
quality settings (low, medium, & high) and 2 recording modes (one
for<br>
meetings, one for one-to-one). The ones I buy are about $99. I
recently got<br>
a Sony refurb unit for $32 at e-cost.com.<br>
<br>
I didn't read the thread about recorders, because I'm really happy
with<br>
mine, and I had shared about it before.<br>
