I'm looking for a cheap solution to handle voice recording. Here are my needs:
1. Cheap- under $125, preferably under $100, shooting for $50-$75- the cheaper, the better
2. Must record to a fairly public format THAT IS NOT wav or flac. Something like MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC, APE- basically anything that can be converted to an MP3 using one of the many available programs out there
3. Has a good mic or has a standard jack for one. (I'd rather it be the latter, but because of price it's not something I really expect)
4. Can store at least 7 hours of recording- considering that I don't need very good quality (equivalent of 36Kbps mono), we could get away with 2GB capacity, if a lower quality recording selection is available.
5. Can't be riddled with bugs (I had a bad experience with an infamous COBY player, once)
I don't need it to play music or anything else besides recording.
The reason this question is 500 points is because the requirements are fairly strict. Direct links to retailers would be good. No eBay unless it's an eBay store and a new item.
Thanks!
