[HANASHIR:7292] Re: Recommendations on tape recorders and computer programs

[Freedabet <Freedabet...>]

I bought an AIWA cassette recorder which came with a separate stereo mic for 
about $60 a couple of years ago.  Sometimes I wish it had a built-in mic for 
convenience, but the sound is better with a remote mic, even if I just wear 
it.
