In my collection of gadgets, I have different kinds of standalone digital audio recorders that I use for various purposes (from recording notes to myself to recording portions of podcasts). A few of you have asked about some of these lately, so we put together this page with sample recordings from various devices, including some pros and cons of each.
Please add comments here about your own favorite mobile recorders.
(Note: For more serious work, I record on the desktop with a USB condenser mic, but these tools are great for field work.)
