Looking for digital voice recorder
Anybody have any recommendations on a portable, digital voice recorder, with USB connection and, preferably, external (lapel) mic connection? Doesn’t need to have an overly large capacity, a few hours at least. Its purpose would be to record sermons and classes in settings where normal recording devices aren’t available, which in my case is most of the time.

I do. I have a IC Recorder ICD-PX720 Sony with Usb and it’s very useful. It records 288hours (1GB) and the results are very good.

Thanks, good to know.

I’m pretty sure that’s the type I use as well.

Oops…sorry, I don’t mean to hog the discussion, but one other thing. This model also gives you the ability to adjust the size of the file. If you need higher quality the file will be bigger, low quality file is much smaller.

Not at all, Jim. That’s a helpful comment.

Hmm, just saw a review that said it doesn’t work with Mac or Linux. :(

Randall…just about any digital voice recorder should work for you. A lady in our congregation gave me one. It’s the type that fits in my shirt pocket. They are not that expensive. Hope that helps.

Jim, I want quality good enough to post online, in a format that I can work with in a MacBook. Hope so!

I use the Olympus ws-600s . Small, lightweight, plenty of capacity, stereo capable.
I use a lapel mic with it.

Fred, this one looks like a possibility, interfaces with Mac. Thanks.

Hello Randal
We purchased a Sony IC Recorder iCD-UX200 and it has worked great. Has the USB connection built in and also a plug for an external mic. We got it on Amazon.co.uk for about £55.00. I’m sure the American site would have it as well.

Jon, thanks for the tip. Will check it out. BTW, I was invited to the local Exchange Club luncheon today, and chatted with Chuck Palmer. He said he saw you on his visit to see his grandson.
