The latest in recording technology (is this the first message?)

[Katie Alcock]

I've usually used minidisk recorders up till now both for recording children
in the field and for creating language stimuli.  We've had some success
recently with MP3 recorders (solid-state) for field recordings but I'm
wondering if anyone has any ideas about:

How good quality these are for creating sound files to link to
transcriptions
How good the recorders are in the long term - do they die easily?
and also
Are they any good for creating clean, high quality sound files to use as
laboratory stimuli?

If they are good, do people have specific recommendations of recorders? We
have a few in our department that people have used for recording
testing/interview sessions but to create some new stimuli I think I'm going
to need to get either a new minidisk recorder or something slightly more
modern.

Thanks
