There are some nice reviews of digital recorders (and their mikes) at transom.org - Jay Allison's website. We ended up going with a Marantz 660 which was such a major improvement over the minidisk recorders we had been using, even without an external mike, that people are thrilled. It's a large unit relative to the minidisc recorders, though.
Still, the quality of the recording and the ability to do transcriptions with clarity is a big plus. Not cheap though, as has already been noted. ari On 5/18/07, David Lynx <david at yakimavalleymuseum.org> wrote: > > I have been using this little Olympus digital recorder for podcasts, etc., > but now I am thinking it picks up too much background noise. > > I can add a mic to it, and the computer mic I have is not too bad, it cuts > down a lot of the background.
