What do reporters use to record audio now?
tape recorder? what do they use now and whats available. do media players record audio? seriously i have no idea. all i know is that i need something that records audio and stores it in a computer friendly format
digital recorders. You can find them on amazon and in radioshack. Some mp3 players do it as well. but those are difficult to find,
Digital tape recorders are great, because you can download it to your computer and email the digital file to, say, a transcriber - and you’ll always have the recording. Everyone I know is using them now.
But I also back it up with a regular micro-cassette recorder - I often like to be able to listen to interviews while I’m out walking; it makes the interview fresh. Then I come in and start writing.
