The organization will be conducting the interviews on their own, without any assistance from us, aside from telling them what device & file format we would like them to use. Hopefully, editing will be kept to a minimum. Thanks for the suggestion.

Under $100 for one with USB connectivity. Olympus is preeminent in the field. If you are doing a bunch of these you might want to spend the extra money to get the software suite (for mac or PC), cable and foot pedal package (Olympus model 2400 kit ?) that enables not only the file transfer but the file management and easy variable speed/ tranport transcription of the files. It can be bought with Dragon Naturally Speaking (~$100)also if you want to try to cut out/ minimize the transcription labor. Oympus model 2400 recorder costs about $200 and has removable SD memory too and uses a DSS high compression file format... not sure if it can also use WAV/ MP3 although I would think so..... db ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
