Some iPods support recording.

It doesn't simply have a "record" feature? This might be a stupid question, but my MP3 players have a voice recorder, and the quality is really quite good - if it were placed directly beside the speaker (I presume the pastor would be cooperating) it would be a near-perfect recording. And that's with a cheapie Sansa. :) It'd be the absolute simplest option, anyway, much less frustrating than trying to get it to interface with the sound system.

We already have a good microphone -- I'd want to get the highest quality recording I can.

And no. The iPod doesn't record natively.

Oh, wow. I tend to assume Apple will be the absolute cutting-edge on everything. :) Sorry. Good luck, I guess...

(I wasn't entirely clear, either, I think - "speaker" there was the pastor, not one of the sound system's speakers. Poor choice of words.)

Dunno if that iPod supports recording, but I suspect it would sound that great. I will need a lot more data actually. The most important thing is WHY do you want to record the sermons? And what is the cost of failure?

[fairoriana]

I want to podcast them/post them on our website as an outreach and a service to all our Sunday School teachers, and the folks who couldn't attend church that day. It's pretty common these days. Cost of failure is low -- we aren't doing it now!

I'd like the audio quality to be pretty listenable and low-cringe.

If there's no microphone...does it have the firmware or software to record the file?

Well, it either works or it doesn't...it's predestined ;)

You're saying we can judge ahead of time whether the audio will be saved? (Hardy har har)
