Mac Forum / General / Hardware / July 2006How many of Hours of Voice Recording on a 60GB IPOD???
How many of Hours of Voice Recording on a 60GB IPOD??? I need to record lectures. How many hours of voice recording can I get on an iPod? How good is an iPod for lecture recording? Can I hook up a REGULAR external microphone to it or do I need a special iPod one? Are there any cheaper/better voice recorders out there that will convert to MP3 or similar and work with a Mac? > How many of Hours of Voice Recording on a 60GB IPOD??? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Are there any cheaper/better voice recorders out there that will convert > to MP3 or similar and work with a Mac?

I've been using a Belkin iPod mic on an older iPOD and at mono 16-bit/8Khz you get about 50MB per hour. So you'd have no prob storing 1000 hours of lectures on your 60GB iPod. I've basically stored my entire MBA program in audio files and it's been a godsend.

If it's 128, then you'll be able to record just over 1,000 hours. > How good is an iPod for lecture recording? I'd say no good at all, since it doesn't come with a mic in the box and doesn't have any kind of line-in, so you'll have to pay extra to get that feature. > Can I hook up a REGULAR external microphone to it or do I need a special > iPod one? You need a special iPod one, or at least a special iPod adapter. > Are there any cheaper/better voice recorders out there that will convert > to MP3 or similar and work with a Mac? Check iTunes.com. If I remember right, they have a list of supported MP3 players somewhere.

The thing you have to consider the most is the drain on the battery external mics put on the iPod. I bought a 4G to record lectures and the battery would last between 5 - 6 hours before it needed to be charged. If I just used the iPod for music playback the battery lasted about three times that, the drain, according to Mac support, was the mic. So if you're going to be on campus all day, recording several classes, bring a charging cable. |
