I have the Sony MZ-B100. Great invention. I use the Sony ECM-MS907 microphone and, for phone interviews, a JK Audio QuickTap, the same sort of gizzmo as your Radio Shack mini recorder control. I transferred some of the interviews to CD through my sound system, but it was cumbersome and time-consuming and I decided that for archive purposes, I didn’t really need to. … I ended up doing all of the transcribing. It’s a great, if laborious, way to get to know your material. I found that some of my best ideas came to me while I was transcribing.

I have taken a chance and put a clickable email button in the left panel of this blog, see it? It says “To Email Me click here.” If I end up getting spammed, I’ll have to remove it and use Lynn’s solution. Meanwhile, I hope you’ll avail yourself of the easy-to-use button and write to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
