Thanks Dien,

AMAZING how much people can get done with a good system that works for them...

A good product for under 50 bux is the RCA RP5030 Digital Voice Recorder that records in MP3 and serves as a 64MB portable device too.

Here is ONE place that offers it...but do a search for best deal...I got mine at Wal-Mart.

What I like about this one is the external mic, and I use either a very good Audio Technica hand held, or a decent Lapel Mic (Radio Shack for about 25 bux),,

With the external MIC, I'm able to be mobile, maybe capture the spirits of Mary Campbell's cave or the rushing water of the Cuyahoga River as it spills over the Lake Edison dam...

This model comes with USB cord. Use a program like Audacity or Sonic and you can clean it up pretty nice. OR, just upload your guerrilla audio to a site and VIOLA, you're good to go.

IF anyone has any other recording devices, let us know what you use...OK?

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for the "heads up" on that!

I'm currently testing out a super-el-cheapo MP3 player that came free with a recent cell phone I bought... (My last cell phone was lousy, so I upgraded...)

The MP3 player I got is an Onix HY-107 MP3 player. It has a record function, with 512 MB of memory...

However, my early testing seems to be okay. I recorded a short "test" file, and played it back alright (on the MP3 Player). I still have to test uploading it to the computer and playing it there...

If any other "Sowpubbers" have experience with this topic, please share it... (I'm learning too!)

Hey Dien,

If you happen to have an iPod, Griffin makes a really nice recorder adapter....

I've got their older version and use it all the time and it works great.

Once your recording is on the iPod, you can plug it into your computer and it will go into your iTunes library (if you are using iTunes)

From there, you can open up "Garage Band" (on your Mac) to edit it if you need too.
