I’ve used two apps on the iPhone for audio recording: The new (free) Voice Memos is good for just that – memos to yourself. The commercial Voice Record ($1.99 at the App Store) seems to produce better quality audio. The interface is cryptic on both of these, but eventually you will figure it out.

With Voice Record you use wifi to easily transfer audio files from the iPhone to your computer.

I do not know if these apps work on the iPod Touch or not.

There are microphone attachments for various iPods. I have not tried these myself because my pre-iPhone iPod is the 2005-06 model (pre-video), and it does not have the capacity for CD-quality audio, no matter what type of mic you attach to it.

I also think that holding up an iPod with a mic attachment during a journalistic interview makes you look like a rank amateur. Most journalists have an Olympus model, at the very least.

Great post. I wondered what your thoughts were on using the iPod as a voice recorder.

I tried again, using Safari instead of my usual web browser (Firefox 3), and it worked. Odd, because on their page they recommend using Firefox 3.
Thanks again for the great advice.

The link worked fine for me: LAME instructions page It's true, they have made that page a bit confusing. But I clicked through for both Windows and Mac and never got a 404.

Another great post.
I just bought the Zoom H2, and on your advice installed Audacity. When I tried downloading the LAME encoder (following the links you provided, and left-clicking on the file), I got a 403-Forbidden error. Has something changed since you posted this? (I was careful about following the instructions, so I don’t think I’m one of the friggin’ 25%…)
Thanks for the great work you’re doing.
