We've used the iRivers and find them very adequate, small, and
affordable. A lot of different models out there, so you can grab
whatever you find. Price varies by MB storage in part. The software
interface is kludgy but otherwise they are a good value I think. Just
pay attention to the mic input vs the headphone input - not that
clearly marked on these small devices, and using the wrong hole can
really screw up an interview!

A lot of audio podcasters seem to like the iRiver iFP-890 (and a few
other models) for portable recording. They record at a fairly high
bitrate to mp3 and have a built in mic. You can get a better external
mic to use too because there is a mini mic jack on them too. But these
little things are really small and seem to work really well.

I'm going to vloggercon and I plan on recording interviews. For
various
practical reasons they'll be audio only, so I need to figure out how
to
record those. Problem is: I don't know anything.
I imagine that I need to buy an mp3-player/recorder and a
microphone, but
I could really use some advice on what to get. Will any mp3-player
with a
line-in work fine and can you recommend a specific model? What kind
of mic
should I get if I want the voice(s) of my victims come through, but
no the
ambient noise of rowdy videobloggers? And can you recommend a model?
I *am* on a budget, the university sadly won't pay for this (sucks!)
