I used my Olympus WS-100 Digital Voice Recorder to record yesterday’s Citizens League forum at MPR. A couple of my colleagues asked what I used (“surprisingly good audio capture from your device”) so I thought I’d blog it here… trying to practice what I preach (answer your email with your blog).
What immediately attracted me to the device was the USB connector. And just like any old flash/jump/thumb drive, it can be used to store any files on it. What keeps me liking is its ease-of-use and quality audio. I paid $99 for it at my Northfield area Radio Shack store.
Click the photos to enlarge. I thought I’d do my Ferris Bueller singing ‘Twist and Shout’ imitation since I had the shirt on. Be thankful there’s no audioblog of it forthcoming.
Nice gizmodo, Griff….and you said you were a ‘geezer’!
Thanks, Fraser… yes, I’m a graying geezer as my kids never cease to remind me.
Do you know if the WS-100 recordings can be played in itunes??
Thanks!
Hi L,
The files are WMA format and have to be converted to MP3 first before you can play them in itunes. More info here:
