I record lectures that are distributed to others, and although standard cassette tape is adequate, I would prefer to use a medium that was both higher in fidelity and didn't need to be "flipped" every 45 minutes.
How appropriate and/or reliable is computer-based recording for all-day recording? Is it absurd to spin the hard drive in a laptop for 8 hours straight?
If you were upgrading from cassette, what would you use?
Thank you for your help. I realize how tedious beginners' questions can be, but with all this "convergence" I am unclear as to whether it's time to move up or wait.
Best wishes,
Mark H.
