[X4U] apple compatible device for recording meetings

[Milton van der Veen]

A 700 series iRiver will do this. I used it to record a discussion  
between unmiked participants in a row in front of a room while I was  
sitting in the audience in the front row over to the side. The mike  
was sensitive enough to pick up all the audio and it encoded MP3  
files directly at about 6MB per 20 minutes.

I uploaded to my G5 Mac via USB and the iRiver-supplied software. For  
editing I used MP3 Trimmer so I wouldn't have to re-encode the MP3  
files:

I broke the audio into 20 minute segments and used iTunes to burn it  
to CD for distribution.
