I have a friend that wants to interview/record an old pizza maker from NYC whose families roots go back to the turn of the century in the business so that this history doesn't die with him. She is an older woman who is not that computer savy(lives 300 miles from me so I can't be of much techno help). I need to get her a cheap handheld that will be easy to transfer to a computer with a minimum of complication. 1 track recording, no editing, no backing tracks, just a plain simple recorder that can be transfered to the computer with a cable. I am hip to studio stuff and older technology like mini disc but am lost on the new stuff. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Walter

I looked at this thread on the forum page and wondered why no one was posting on it. I clicked on it and saw all three comments had been marked as spam! (Probably because they have product names in them). If anyone else has any recording devices to suggest, see if you can't put a little more text around it so it doesn't trigger the spam filter. I'll restore the posts as they come along. :)

If she has any kind of mobile phone that might be the ticket. They can be a bit tricky, I realize. I had a dumb phone until very recently, and it could make OK recordings.

I use a Sansa clip player for recording our band practices. Less than $50, records for 10-15 hrs. Easy download. Good sound quality. http://www.sandisk.com/products/music-video-players/clip-plus-mp3-player/

thanks for all the replies! She is wanting to go cheap with no video because it takes way too long to load them to youtube. Her cell phone is a real old one and all she knows is how to use it as a phone. The eebadeeb suggestion looks good. I found this one and wonder how the capacity for recording hours/sound quality would compare? Thanks. Walter
