I'm looking for some kind of dictaphone type dealie, for recording jazz/metal fusion jam sessions, conversations with my parents to prove to the psychologist that they are out to get me, recording the sounds I make when I sleep, the usual type of stuff.

I have a crappy Asian mp3 player which does the job quite well - aprt from the fact that it's stuck encoding at 32kpbs per second. It's cheap as well but it's annoying that it could work quite well if it just encoded better, the mic itself isn't that bad.

Does anyone know a better one? I'm looking for a pretty damn cheap one here, not a professional-recording-studio-in-a-matchbox like I'm sure some will suggest. Just one that can record passable quality audio, just if I want to record myself playing guitar and don't want to show it to others, etc. I hate having to set up my stage mic just to get it passable quality when I'm not looking for a particularily great set up. I just need for my "tone" and general equalisation to be audible, not for it to be crystal clear or anything like that.

Any suggestions? I notice Xtravision have the Creative Muvo TX for 50 euros, is that about good? What about the lower end one, the NX?

I wouldn't mind one with a crappy inbuilt speaker to play it back like a traditional dictophone, but that's not really essential.
