Recording stuff...

Hi,

I'm looking for something for my mother so she can record her choir sessions - any ideas? Only have a budget of around 100 euro - so any suggestions would be great. She'll be looking to use a microphone - should have mentioned that, so the basic recording feature via built in mic in most mp3 players will not do - needs to have an input jack.

thanks

The Zen V plus has an input which you can plug a microphone.

In order to get a good recording, you really need a good microphone, that is omni-directional, especially for a choir recording

available in 1, 2 or 4 gb

good luck

If you can get your hands on an iRiver h100 or h300, they have recording with mic in. Would have to be 2nd hand as they're not made anymore.
I have rockbox on mine - http://www.rockbox.org/
and use if for recording direct to mp3. very handy.

Sweet - I had thought of this, but the input jack is what looks like 2.5mm instead of 3.5 - does that mean I've to use an adaptor to use a microphone?

Thanks

Zen Vision M has a built in microphone too. Quality wasn't too bad from recording at a deafening metal gig. Would in theory be a lot better at something like a choir recital.
