When my daughter and I were visiting my 91 year old mother in Denver 
earlier this year, my daughter wanted to record stories my mother was 
telling about growing up in China (she can still recite Chinese nursery 
rhymes). We went out to a Best Buy and chose a Sony digital voice 
recorder. I don't remember how much we spent on it, but I was looking 
for the recorder with the best quality and compatibility with the Mac. 
These have better quality than what you can get with various other 
options, because they are focused on this functionality. They have noise 
reduction, great clarity, lots of control, etc. and are about the size 
of an iPod Nano. Then, just plug it in to your Mac and have the 
recordings in whatever app you want. My daughter just put it in iTunes. 
I haven't messed with sound for a long time, but there have got to be 
lots of possibilities on the Mac, both free and commercial.

It might have been this one:

I should say that my daughter has been very happy with it and has used 
it a fair bit since that trip.
