For the interviews I just did, however, I used a sleeker work-issued handheld unit, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-WS-320M-Digital-Recorder-Player/dp/B000BJ3BRO" rel="nofollow">Olympus WS-320M Digital Voice Recorder</a>, which uses just 1 AAA battery, has plenty of built-in memory. One battery can record almost 15 hours, and the memory can hold maybe 100+ hours in high-quality mode. The best thing about this recorder is its small size, efficient battery use, and the built-in USB port. For portability, for me, it's all about using conventional batteries and no extra cords and wires and chargers. And once I get the original recorded audio files, .WAV format, onto my laptop, I use open-source freeware <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Audacity</a> to clean up the audio quickly (compress and normalize), cut off the starting and ending noise from my hitting the record and stop buttons, export it as an .MP3 file, then upload it onto a free audio hosting site like Podomatic.com or Odeo.com .
