Hi All,

Just getting back into a little interviewing work, after a long absence. So just want some advice on where technology is ‘at’ now

1) Do people still use separate Dictaphones- or do they use their mobile phones or MP3 players as interview recorders? I have a Zen V Plus and it only records short ten minute bursts – which is not that helpful. My Nokia 5300 allows you record for longer (although sometimes it says 40 mins others 1 hour), but I worry about the sound quality and my ability to save on hard disk?

Do people have experience of any of these devices- or do they think that Dictaphones are still the way to go and would they have any advice on what ones to pick up, if so?
