Remembering a past thread on recording interviews and transcribing -- some BoingBoing ( http://www.boingboing.net ) posts may be helpful. Mac only tho' -- sorry PC'ers
"Yesterday, I wrote about a super simple recorder for OS X, called Audio Recorder. I've been using iTunes to play back the files, but last night Boing Boing reader Mason told me about a $20 transcribing program called Listen&Type. I gave it a whirl, and I'm sold on it. Here's why: (1) You
don't have to switch back and forth between iTunes http://www.apple.com/ilife/itunes/ and a text editor to stop and start the recording. Listen&Type http://www.nattaworks.com/english.html lets you set up keyboard commands so you can stop and start the audio without leaving your text editor.

"A few weeks ago, I discovered Audio Recorder, a freeware program for OS X http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17392 that records audio input as MP3 files.

I use it with the $25 RadioShack Wireless Phone Recording Controller http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1&catalog_name=CTLG&product_id=17-855 , which is also great. I play back the interviews in iTunes and transcribe them in BBEdit http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml ."
