New recorder recommendations
I think it's time to get a recorder soon. Maybe someone on here has some good suggestions. I need something that's is easy to hide, has great sound quality, and it would be nice to be able to somehow access the files from my phone so I can edit them and post them. Any suggestions are good. Thank you.

Re: New recorder recommendations
I'd say that for different recording situations, different recorders should be used. So to recommend the best devices for you, you might add which recording set-up is the most common you are going to have.
Olympus recorders are probably the most sophisticated solution, but you can't always hide them really good. I think gekko can give you advise which models have the best value for the price today.
Personally I have an Olympus DM 550 which I use for most situations and to be honest is the only device I really got decent recordings from.
In addition I have a sun mechatronics FL999 contact microphone which is very expensive and if you capture something you have to remove a hell load of side noises from the recordings. Also it's a very suspicious device compared to all "regular" recorders.
And at last I have a cheap but crappy USB recorder which I've never used as the (pick-up) quality just sucks. But there are better USB recorders now, so if that's something you are interested in, you could have a look at those. They can be found somewhere here in the sub-forum.
For spontaneous recordings with my phone I have a recording app on android, but that can't be compared with an olympus device aswell. It's called audioRec (in german "aufnahmegerät") from AC SmartStudio.
Best regards,
