Hi folks: I've been asked by a blind friend, folklorist Marge Steiner, to recommend a portable digital recorder with good quality sound (.wav files -- we're not talking .mp3s here) that's easily operable by a blind person. She'll be using it for field recordings and live concert recordings of programs held by a folklore society. She's been using a Sony portable DAT machine, but it just went belly-up and no parts are available. I've informally suggested that she avoid Zoom recorders and that perhaps a Tascam would be more appropriate, but beyond that I don't really know. I don't think her budget would stretch to Audio Devices. Any suggestions? Peace, Paul --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
