[quote=GRIZ326,228094]I plan on recording podcasts during my trip around China this summer using a semi-professional, stereo recorder.  With luck I should capture some wonderful music to share on the web and use in my podcasts. However, I hope to follow the rules and not be a pirate.

I know that guards politely inform you whenever you take a picture in a location where pictures are not permitted at famous sites. Will they do the same for audio recording? Or is there a proper protocol to follow?

As for people playing music in the parks just for enjoyment, is there any problem recording them?  Is there a correct way to ask their permission? ...or should I just record them? I will not have the tools to make them a CD on the spot, but could email them MP3s.

My thought is to make up small cards with the website address for my podcasts and my email address. However, I imagine that many of the old musicians may not be able to take advantage of that, so what could I do for them to express my appreciation?

Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

...oh yes...I'll post a link here when I start doing my podcasts.[/quote]
