Should I buy a DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER or MP3 player with voice recording capabilities?
I am looking for a digital voice recorder (DVR) that I can use to record lectures. In my research for a recorder, I have found that it seems to be just as cost effective to buy an MP3 player.
I wonder if the MP3 player is just a good voice recorder for dictation vs. lectures like the DVR. Do you know?
Should I buy an MP3 player for the added features versus the DVR. If so, please suggest one that meets the following criteria.
1) it should have a built in mic
2) it should have good capacity
3) it should be able to record voices clearly in a classroom setting
4) i should be able to tranfer the recorderd voice files to my computer through a USB cable
If I were to get an MP3 player, I would really like to get one that I could also listen to FM on.
Please suggest me any good product which has all the features mentioned above… Thanks.
Okay well if you should go with buying an MP3 player, I would get a Creative Zen Vision: M, this has FM radio already on the player no extra stuff to buy unlike an iPod where you have to be an FM transmitter, and it has a microphone on it. The audio quality of the recorder isn’t as great but it does record classroom settings. I’ve used my Zen Vision M to record many class room sessions. Plus with it’s 30GB hard drive, you can also get 60GB and 80GB of this player as well if you want it bigger.
The player lets you record 10 hours in one sitting. Meaning you can record for 10 hours straight, but I do think the battery dies after 8 hours of use. My classes usually go to 3 hours and 30 minutes, and it records all of them. Plus you can transfer the files to your computer through the USB cable as well. With my player I’ve recorded almost 3 weeks of classes.
Also the files are in WAV format but they don’t even take up a lot of space. I do think it’s 1MB for every minute. So if you record 1 hour of recording it will be 60MB.
I’ve never really used a Digital Voice Recorder, I’m not sure how the quality is on those. But if you have the money to buy an MP3 player then I would go with the Zen Vision: M, but if you just want to spend a few bucks I would go with a DVR.
P.S – Do NOT get an iPod because those break easily.
