[Web4lib] mic recommendations

[Wylie Ackerman]

I ran into some issues trying to use inexpensive PC mics with my Mac.  I
opted to go with this product:

M-Audio Mobilepre USB ($180)
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB-main.html
It will work with a Mac or Windows PC, and it's two channel, so you can
run two mics (or other instruments) through it at the same time.  It's
also small and portable.

You can use pretty much any mic you want with it.  We opted for some
fairly inexpensive Shure's.

I'm looking for suggestions for reasonably-priced microphone, for use in
podcasting/vodcasting (I'd want to purchase 2)? Types that are both PC
and MAC compatible (read "idiot proof") would be useful. Thanks for all
replies!
