Snag with a lot of these sort of things is you still need the mic in a

It also makes life a *lot* easier if you record in stereo, as then you
can physically place the voices, and they're easier to understand over
any background noise.


Bit of a mixed blessing as stereo also picks up more background noise,
over a directional mono mic.

Sony used to sell a stereo tieclip microphone which worked with their
minidisc recorders, and was quite unobtrusive in use.


That's fine if all you're recording is yourself - but not much use for a
discussion.
