Necessity for university

I have a tape cassette one that takes mini cassettes. Good times...
Why would you get one now days though?
>>53761654
Lectures, meetings.
But I've graduated college so I really can't think of a use for one other than recording notes to myself. I wonder how useful that'd actually be.

dont most unis upload lectures online for students now days?
also you could just use the recordere on your phone, thats what i do to beats to make later on (playing them back sounds awful though)
surprised how clear the audio is...

Not by a long shot, friend. Less than 0.1% I'd wager.

Damn, guess Im just lucky then.

I carry a pen and notepad. More useful imo.

but its not water resistant to an ip68 standard so no ty
My phone does this with a cheap 5$ microphone I plug into the headphone jack

Are you more likely to lose an idea because you soaked your notepad, or because it requires text/symbols/pictures to make sense?
>>53762664
you can easily explain a symbol, since a symbol is just an abbreviation really. If its music you can hum and transcribe later.
Also the former, what happens when your notepad is submerged at a depth greater than 1 metre for longer than 30 minutes?

You've got me on the music, and if that's the main idea of course the recorder wins. I mainly use mine for math, random notes, recently for code ideas. Both of those are more easily understood written than spoken. I also tend to think spatially so I'm prone to make pictures. In addition, it's faster to flip through and review a notepad, dog-ear pages and all that, than to find a recording unless you title and save every one on a computer. Even then, you better hope the title you chose associates with whatever you're looking for, otherwise you're opening and listening to every single thing. It's way too much work.

Lol guess i'm at a loss there.
For a real answer, if I'm camping or something and I've got a lot on the pad worth keeping I'd put it in a plastic bag.
Btw most phones come with a program for voice recording, why not just use that?
>>53762819
yeah thats what i was on about, using phones is a better idea, and theyre conform to the ip68 standard in some cases.
Of course i also carry a notebook for real ideas. Why not hae the best of both worlds?
