How to get better concert recordings with a device phone?

Folks,

I'd like to get better concert recordings with a device phone.

Can anyone suggest what the technique might be? I guess

we can buy a supplemental microphone that plugs right

into the phone jack, except when you dont have a phone jack.
Anyone there with experience?

I am not looking for bootleg quality, just usable. Most built-in

mics seem to have NO bass response. My Nikon

D800 can do it well, but it's hard to get that in.

Thanks

Steve Zee

Correct answer ryclark

A better external mic is the only answer. What sort of phone do you have that hasn't got a headphone/mic jack? Is it an iThingy? If so you will have to get yourself one of their proprietary adaptors to allow external phones/mics to plug in I'm afraid.

But if you want quality recordings then a proper portable digital recorder is the best way forward.
