at the risk of sounding like I'm throwing tech at the problem ;-) I totally agree with the note taking warnings above, and have found the livescribe pen to be very helpful for handling audio with the occasional note (synced to the recording)
to reflect and begin writing up, I then usually replay the recording straight from the pen as soon as possible - and add observational notes etc - these get added to the recording at that timestamp. it's a little hard to describe in text, but very effective at being able to record people unobtrusively while being able to put in markers for things to go back to. disclaimer: i'm in no way affiliated or anything with the company.. but I do like their product. (although the pen's form is a little annoying to use, the function had me sold :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
