I don't think so. If memory serves, federal law dictates that 1 participant
of the conversation must consent (i.e., you can't record a converstation
that you're not part of - no evesdropping)

Again, I'm not a lawyer, but from my research, this will make recording
legal in every state in the US.

I also found software for Windows that does this. The big caveat is
that you have to have a way to push the conversation into the computer
where the software can "hear" it. Different softwares have different
techniques.
On a related note. I got the legal information from a web site for
reporters that lists (state by state) the legal requirements for
recording an interview. I would have just sent you link, but I can't
seem to find the site again this morning.
