For Query: Linguist 11.1313 Thanks to everyone (too many to list) who responded to my recent query about a recorder for use in field work. Although a few people recommended using DAT (Digital Audio Tape) the overwhelming consensus was to use MiniDisk. Apparently MiniDisk recorders come in very tiny formats, use very tiny disks, have high-quality sound and are not too expensive. Several people warned against using a voice-activated microphone, because they tend to cut off the first part of the utterance that activates them. Also not recommended is a built-in mic, which might pick up more ambient room noise than speech. One person warned me against recording people without their knowledge. She's right, of course.
