Response to: Digital audio recorder?
Yeah, that's a terrific idea indeed. Here's where I have to reveal that I'm not completely digital yet ... After much fooling around a couple years ago with various portable recorders, I settled on a Sony TCM-50DV cassette recorder. It uses regular cassette tapes, has lots of controls, audio "in" and "out" jacks, tape counter, speaker, mic sensitivity setting, speed control, VOR, and best of all, it's very reliable (and affordable!). I carry a "male to male" mini-jack cable and upload the sound though my iMic. High tech, not really. But it never fails me.

  I think this guy needs to get up to date with digital technology. A cassette? Yea.
  
  Try a slim digital audio recorder that holds at least 120 minutes of sound time. Should cost you from $50 on up. Even Radio Shack sells them.

  Concur that Radio Shack has an OK (not too robust) device at $50. My question is how to take the file into the PC. The output on the $50 item is only by real-time analog signal. What about a USB to make a wav or mp3 file? Any suggestions for hardware and software?

  I suggest getting Olympus's DW-90. It's around $89 (or less now, I'd assume). Holds up to 90 minutes of crappy audio, but 22 minutes of high quality stuff.
  
  They have an MP3 version (which I do not own) that will store up to 22 hours of voice.
  
  The DW-90 fits in your pocket...heck, it's almost small enough to fit on a keychain.
  
  Just check out Best Buy and Radio Shack for other models/options.
