It makes surprisingly good recordings to WAV files of lower-volume sources, though it completely blew out trying to record a live band. I bought it at Wal-Mart for about $30. I haven't used it for any interviews, but I would think it would work pretty well. I see some mixers are starting to incorporate iPod slots, so you can do your recording on it. -Matt Sohn
